Eulogy for Steve Jobs

Courtesy Daring Fireball, the eulogy for Steve Jobs read at his memorial service by his sister Mona Simpson.

His abiding love for Laurene sustained him. He believed that love happened all the time, everywhere. In that most important way, Steve was never ironic, never cynical, never pessimistic. I try to learn from that, still.

Loving his family doesn't absolve him of responsibility for all too frequently being monstrously indifferent to the feelings of strangers. But he must have been a devoted brother to have inspired a eulogy as touching as Simpson's.
