Steve Jobs
We all know Steve Jobs, even if we don’t own any of his company’s products. Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computers in 1976, and a few decades later, he was running one of the world’s most successful tech companies. This photo shows him looking very frail at his home on August 26, 2011 – less than six weeks before he passed away from pancreatic cancer complications on October 5. Some say that by refusing conventional treatments (expediting his demise), he hastened his own death.
His last words, as whoever was present recalled, were, “Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow.” Appropriately enough, he was given an unmarked grave.
