I may have never gotten to meet steve,but I feel as though he touched my life. I have kept reptiles since I was a child(much to the dismay of my family) and have tried to dispel the myths about these amazing creatures. Steve was able to change peoples minds about these animals. His passion shown through in every show he did. I think we all were in awe of his enthusiasm and compassion. I know a lot of people who thought of him as crazy for the way he dealt with "dangerous" animals but I think he knew exactly what he was doing. In a world were the wild places are in severe decline,he done every thing he could to save a place for wildlife. The world is surely an emptier place without steve and he sure will be missed by all. I hope someone will take up the flag of conservation and run with it.
