He was the legendary, fun and entertaining Australian zookeeper who were and is still part of many people's lives. Now his family, wife, son and other children continue on his legacy after he passed years ago due to an accident.
His wife, Dr. Terri Irwin, wrote a guest post on the Google Blog about his legacy. Yes, a guest post, with a do-follow link to their non profit organization Wildlife Warriors - let's give Google a pass on that link, okay?

Irwin and his family dedicated their lives to the preservation and appreciation of earth’s wildlife and wild places.Born in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia on this day in 1962, Irwin was raised by Lyn and Bob Irwin, who gave him an eleven-foot python for his sixth birthday.
