It’s been over a decade since the Irwin family lost their beloved husband and father, Steve Irwin, in a tragic stingray accident back in 2006. But even after all these years, the wildlife warrior remains close to their hearts. On February 22, Steve's birthday, his wife Terri Irwin and their children, Bindi Irwin, now 19, and Robert Irwin, 14, took to social media to honor the man who inspired so many around the world.
Steve’s daughter, Bindi, turned to Instagram to post a nostalgic photo of her dad in his signature khaki gear alongside her grandmother, Lyn Irwin, who passed away in a car accident in 2000. It was a poignant moment as both Steve and Lyn shared the same birthday. "Happy Birthday to my dad and grandmother," Bindi wrote with heartfelt emotion. "I wish so much that I could give you birthday hugs. You are both in my heart today, and I hope you're celebrating together. ❤️"

Terri Irwin, Steve’s wife, also took a moment to honor her late husband on social media. She shared a powerful image that told a story of Steve’s heroic nature. During one of his shoots, Steve paused everything to help search for two missing scuba divers near their filming location. "Thinking of Steve today," Terri wrote. "He was so many things to so many people. He was definitely a hero. He was my hero."
Young Robert Irwin’s Tribute to His Dad
The youngest of the Irwin siblings, Robert, also paid homage to his dad with a sweet post. He shared a photo of himself as a little blond-haired boy with his father, beaming with joy. "Thinking of my dad today," Robert wrote. "To so many people, he was the Crocodile Hunter, but to me, he was the best dad in the world. I miss you, Dad."

Bindi’s Continued Dedication to Her Father’s Legacy
Just earlier this month, Bindi shared another touching tribute to her dad. She watched a clip of Steve being interviewed about his deep love for nature, a video she had never seen before. "I don’t think I’ll ever be able to describe the amount of emotion in my heart once the video ended," Bindi confessed. "My dad. My superhero. I promise to do my best to make you proud and ensure your legacy lives on forever."
Not only did Bindi honor her father's memory, but she also announced exciting news for fans. The Irwin family will be returning to Animal Planet for a new show. "A new chapter in our lives has begun as we embark on this journey with [Animal Planet]," she wrote. "There is so much on the horizon. We can’t wait to share our story as a family #WildlifeWarriors."
