Jason had a very strong admiration for the Croc Hunter. At the time of Steve Irwinís death on September 4, 2006, Jason recorded hours of footage documenting any information he could about the man he held in such high esteem. Jason’s employer, Martin and Patti Croad planned for Jason to visit Steve Irwin’s homeland of Australia and New Zealand early next year as Jason had always wanted to visit the Australia Zoo. Any tribute to Jason would not be complete without a salute to the man he looked up to.
