Apple`s legendary ex-CEO and co-founder, Steve Jobs, has just died at the age of 56 after a long battle with cancer. Job`s death is a greatly mourned by Apple and every Steve fan.

Apple said in a statement that Steve`s passion, energy, creativity, and utter-brilliance were the source of countless number of innovations which enriched our lives.

A statement from Steve Jobs’ family: Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family.

In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve’s illness; a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories.

We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.

Tim Cook’s email to Apple employees regarding the passing of Steve Jobs is below:

Team,
I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today.
Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
We are planning a celebration of Steve’s extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon. If you would like to share your thoughts, memories and condolences in the interim, you can simply email (sorry, you need Javascript to see this e-mail address).
No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.
Tim

Our greatest sympathies go out to his family, friends and co-workers. He WILL be deeply missed.
Truly a one of a kind !!
