Apple’s co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs has passed away at 56. The news hit the Web recently in a statement issued by Apple (via All Things Digital), which mourned the loss of the company’s former leader (who has been on medical leave since January).

It would be an understatement to say that we’re saddened by this news – Steve was a unique visionary, and his leadership and passion hasn’t just brought us the Mac, it brought us the iPod, iPhone and iPad, too.

Apple has set up a dedication webpage to Steve at http://apple.com/stevejobs, with the email address rememberingsteve@apple.com. Alternatively, feel free to share your thoughts on Apple’s great co-founder in the comments.

Rest in peace, Steve.
