Elysium Magazine’s top five tributes to the innovator of cool.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Steve’s sister, Mona Simpson, wrote an emotional eulogy which was recently published in the New York Times.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“None of us knows for certain how long we\u2019ll be here. On Steve\u2019s better days, even in the last year, he embarked upon projects and elicited promises from his friends at Apple to finish them. Some boat builders in the Netherlands have a gorgeous stainless steel hull ready to be covered with the finishing wood. His three daughters remain unmarried, his two youngest still girls, and he\u2019d wanted to walk them down the aisle as he\u2019d walked me the day of my wedding.\u00a0<\/em>
\nWe all \u2014 in the end \u2014 die in medias res. In the middle of a story. Of many stories.”<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>US President Barack Obama<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>British Prime minister David Cameron<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honour, I will miss Steve immensely. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives.<\/em><\/p>\n
