If you'll remember a couple of months ago, a sad picture of Steve Jobs suffering from pancreatic cancer has surfaced in the biz website TMZ. People in the internet even argued that it was allegedly photoshopped for a more dramatic effect. Unfortunately, now we fully know for a fact that it wasn't altered in any way, and that was the public's last glimpse of the Apple visionary alive.
While Steve Jobs' illness isn't anything new—in fact he has been suffering from the dreaded disease for more or less 7 years—what's astounding is his longevity given the fact that he has pancreatic cancer. Like medical experts and other people in the medical field pointed out, a person with pancreatic cancer can only live for so long. But Steve, see, he lived full on until this day.
Apple CEO Tim Cook today sent the following email to all Apple employees:
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 rememberingsteve@apple.com.
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
