The crocodile hunter may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten. 

Steve Irwin's widow, Terri Irwin, took to Twitter on June 8, 2017, to share a very special tribute to her late husband. Posting a black and white photo of the two of them kissing—iguana sitting atop their heads—Terri wrote, "Today would have been our 25th wedding anniversary. I miss you so very much, and I am grateful every day for the time we had together."

Steve passed away on September 4, 2006. He was killed while filming a documentary off the coast of Australia after a stingray stung him, puncturing his heart. He was 44 years old.

Steve's survived by his wife and their two children, 18-year-old Bindi and 13-year-old Robert.

In an interview with Access Hollywood in May 2017, Terri revealed that she hasn't dated anyone since her husband's passing. "I feel a connection still with Steve. You know when you take those vows and say we'll be together as long as we both shall live? I really don't think I would have married if I hadn't met Steve," the 52-year-old said. "He's very special to me, and continues to be. And I've got beautiful kids and a lot of wonderful conservation work. So I'm lonely for Steve, but I'm not a lonely person."
