The family of Apple Inc. co-founder and chairman Steve Jobs issued this statement following his death on Wednesday at age 56:
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.

Damn nice idea.
Yes, that’s a good idea.
Upon his return, Steve acknowledged the long hours and other sacrifices made by the extended ‘Apple family’ that went into making great products.
In this time, I wish to thank Steve’s family for sharing him with us — he touched our hearts, minds and souls — and I extend to them my thoughts and sincere condolences.
I suppose Steven knew that this time there will be no another chance during all of this said year, yet his thoughts could still fly as high as ever, his plans were going to the future as far as years from now.
I forgot the exact term, but Foxconn’s founder appropriately used ancient Chinese word that describes ferless heroic stoicism and devotion to the mission of your life.
The epitaph should maybe use Jobs’ “I want to put a ding in the universe”.
偉人，Great man，是歷史人物，是歷史巨人，他們對人類歷史發展作出貢獻，或令世界轉危為機。
The best way to honor this great man and the company he founded, is to buy an Apple product in the coming weeks.
Seems the best way for me to honor Steve Jobs is to continue following my passion and joy to make this world a better place for everyone.
Miss ya steve ;(

He brought the best products for the “betterment of the world”.
We pray for the progress of his soul in the worlds to come.
I don’t know what to do or say.
It is indeed a very sad day for the world. He was a genius and certainly the inspiration for my career and interest in computers from a single digit age for 30 years.
I am in mourning…
Rest in Peace Steve
Steve didn’t die… He just went home.
Have a great journey, Steve. We’ll miss ya.
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die to get there.
– Steve Jobs
I hope Tim Cook will change the name of the iPhone 5 to iSteve or iPhone SJ in memory of him, as Apple is always a year ahead of product release…we all know Steve’s vision and standards are inside the upcoming iPhone 5…er…iSteve…but, in fact, it won’t be his last vision…the Cupertino campus will be his last revolutionary vision…and I hope they place his remains in the center of the campus park…he would have loved that campus so much. When he delivered the plans to the town committee, we all heard how weak his voice was, and feared the worst. Rest in God’s hands, my earthly hero…Steve…you changed my life and the way I look at life. iWeep
I was privileged to meet Steve when I drove Buckminster Fuller to Apple HQ for a cold call introduction of him to Steve in about 1978. Everyone dropped what they were doing and Steve was happy to give Bucky a personal tour of the place. I was a charter adopter of two Macintosh computers in 1984 allowing me to easily startup one of the first Mac Magazines, MacBriefs. Steve has been my hero and constant mental companion ever since. I’ll miss his presence in life a lot. But his presence in my life and in all of ours forthcoming will persist in all the great tools he’s made for us and which will continue to be made for us by the creative empire he has built and left us all to continue to cherish. His influences and legacy will never die. God bless his wife and children.
Feels like I’ve lost a close friend. Wish his family comfort and peace of mind and thank them for sharing him with all of us.
To The Jobs and the Mac family user sincere condolences.
