Steve's death just underlines how real his Stanford commencent speech hits home.
His life certainly had its ups and downs, but through it all he persevered and fought for that he felt was true and was worth it. Although his accomplishements went beyond what anyone would have possibly dreamed (aside from himself) there are so many people around us who are also heroes of the real world.
We mourn today a great man and in a sense we hold hommage to all of those people who strive to make this world a better place.
Rest in peace Steve, may God bless you and your family
