For me it was when Steve Irwin died.

It was a shock, but at the same time it gave so much credit to all the other things he did. Never faked it, was most joyous in the face of death over and over again.

Agree with all you said. His life was joyous and I think the legacy lives on with how wholesome his family is even now. :)
