RIP Stevie.

The last pic I saw of him was right before he stepped down....he looked to be in very bad shape. Like Swayze when he was on his last leg.

I haven't seen him since his last apple event and he didn't look bad. That is what I was going on regarding his health.

Crazy he's finally gone, but amazing he's lasted this long with the mess of things he had going wrong.

I'm not really surprised. With as big as his ego (from all reports) was, I figured his health had to be really bad for him to step down as CEO. Still unfortunate though.

Wow. Shows how deadly Pancreatic cancer is.

Will be truly missed. Technology visionary and he could put on quite a show.

Twitter is the fastest info dissemination platform in history. One of the reasons it isn't going anywhere. Stinks to see anyone die so young. Rip Steve.

Shit moves quick. Former NFL player and director of the NFLPA Gene Upshaw went to a doc with stomach pains on a Friday (I believe), was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and was dead by Sunday. FUCK cancer!

He looked pretty bad...



My grandmother had pancreatic cancer and it was painful to see her towards the end...

I have never been the biggest Apple fan, but I've always really respected what Jobs has been able to do. This sucks for anyone that likes tech.

He was a marketing genius and completely changed the cell phone business. RIP

I wonder what effect this will have on Apple.
