Apple’s co-founder and former CEO, Steve Jobs, who’s been battling a rare form of pancreatic cancer for years and had a liver transplant in 2009, has passed away at the age of 56.

We all know that Apple was founded when Steve Jobs took a technicolor trip through a forest and was bonked on the head with a Newtonian Apple logo of inspiration, before going on to literally give birth to a bulky Macintosh computer. Well, that’s how Taiwanese animation team Next Media Animation remembers it at least.

Steve Jobs is stepping down as chief executive at Apple, the company said on Wednesday. Jobs will remain at the company as chairman, but he and his iconic black turtleneck will be replaced by former Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook.
