Steve Job dies at age 56.

Wow, he really wasn't kidding about his health when he stepped down as CEO. A mere month and a week later, Steve Jobs exhaled his last breath, succumbing to his long and tiresome battle with pancreatic cancer.

Much can be said about his accomplishments in creating and running what is now considered one of the world's biggest and most successful companies. He really was there till the very end. RIP.
