CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA (BNO NEWS) -- Technology giant Apple is planning to soon hold a celebration of former CEO Steve Jobs' life after he died in California on Wednesday, the company said.

In an email sent to all Apple employees following Jobs' death, new Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company has lost a "visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor."
Cook said the company is planning a celebration for Apple employees of Steve's 'extraordinary' life which will take place soon. "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple," he said.
He added: "No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve's death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much."
