Today marks the 12th anniversary of Apple’s co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs passing away at the age of 56, following a cancer diagnosis.
Apple shared the following message on its website when Jobs passed away:
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.
Apple still has a “Remembering Steve” page on its website with condolences shared by customers around the world following his death in 2011.
“There is not a day that goes by that we don’t think about him,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook, during the first media event at Steve Jobs Theater in September 2017.
