Terri Irwin Remembers Late Husband Steve On 14th Anniversary Of His Death

Terri Irwin has penned a heartfelt tribute in memory of her late husband Steve Irwin. Friday, Sept. 4, was the 14th anniversary of his death in 2006 after a stingray injury. The 2020 anniversary of his passing was "particularly poignant," Terri noted in her tribute, because she'd also been married to Steve for 14 years when he died. Read on to see her message, as well as tributes by Bindi and Robert Irwin.

Friday, Sept. 4, marked the 14th anniversary of Steve Irwin's tragic death.

The conservationist, TV star and family man was survived by two children and his wife Terri — whose love for Steve is unending. The 2020 anniversary of Steve's death fell on Friday, when Terri once more reflected on loss, memories, and love.
