"Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve."
Jobs who was 56 years old, died peacefully said his family.
He is survived by his wife Laurene, with whom he had three children.
The passing of Steve Jobs left people around the world "iSad" on Thursday, with countless mourners typing out their grief on the handheld Apple gadgets that have transformed modern life.
Tributes poured in from notables from US President Barack Obama to Bill Gates, but it was the scale of the outpouring from ordinary people around the world, hammering out characters on Jobs's own inventions, that was staggering.
As word spread that Jobs had died of cancer at the age of 56, messages tagged "iSad" and "RIP Steve Jobs" joined other references to the Apple co-founder among the hottest topics at Twitter.
Others made their way to state-of-the-art Apple retail stores, another user-friendly innovation pioneered by Jobs.
Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
I think that although he has full of ideas in his dream of making things, he also contributed to even more advanced and mordern technology like iPad and iPhone. Even if he passed away, we would still always remember him forever.
