Apple held a commemorative event on October 19 celebrating the life of co-founder Steve Jobs. CEO Tim Cook led the proceedings on Apple’s campus in Cupertino, California.
Friends, family, and employees shared stories of Steve’s principles, leadership, and enthusiasm; reminiscing in their feelings about the visionary. Coldplay, one of Steve’s favorite musical groups, performed several of their most popular songs in his honor.
Thousands of people were in attendance, while many more watched live. Apple Store employees joined in on the celebration as stores worldwide were closed.
Steve passed away on October 5, 2011 at age 56. He was a true visionary, leading Apple through the rise of the Mac, iPod, and iPhone. Few can say that they have had as much of an impact as he has had on the world.
Tim Cook’s closing words:“Steve made our world a better place. He left his fingerprints all over society, all over the world. He also leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirt that will be the foundation of this company forever. There are no words in Webster that will express the sadness or our gratitude for the opportunity to have worked with the world’s best genius. Steve, we will miss you forever and we will honor you in your memory by dedicating ourselves to doing the work that you love so much.”
