Steve Jobs Dead at 56

Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple finally succumbed in his long-time battle with pancreatic cancer and other health issues. It was announced by Apple late in the day, today, Wed. 10/5/11.

The Apple home page had a black-and-white photo of Jobs with the simple epitaph, “Steve Jobs, 1955-2011.” So simple yet so shocking. Fifty-Six is so young to die. And for a person who changed the world so radically.

He was responsible for both the iPhone and the iPod, and changed technology as we know it forever, but it just goes to show you that no one is immune to the hardships in life, no matter how rich, how successful, how intelligent, or how well respected you are. Jobs was all those things.

So many people think if you’re rich, you have it all. No one is guaranteed good health! Jobs put up a terrific battle, and unfortunately he lost.

During his commencement speech at Stanford in 2005, he actually said, “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life!”

Our hearts go out to his wife Laurene and his family!

He will be sorely missed, but his legacy will live on forever in the things that he gave us!

RIP Steve Jobs!
