It was pretty obvious that he wasn't long for the world when those pictures of him surfaced a while ago. Hopefully he was able to pass peacefully.
He was a controversial person, but his influence cannot be ignored, nor can his genius. When you think about what technology was like just 10 years ago and how far we've come since then, it's pretty amazing and Jobs was at the forefront of that. He helped make not only Apple's products better but other companies' as well. Hopefully others (for whatever company they work for) can pick up the torch and continue blazing trails in this field. We've seen entire industries (American cars for one) sit on their laurels once they achieved success and suffer as a result. The world needs fanatical perfectionists like Jobs who are willing to take risks to innovate.
RIP, Steve.
