As Steve Jobs was an intensely private person when alive, his family opted to keep details about his memorial private. When asked by the Wall Street Journal, a source that was close to Jobs didn't discuss the details of the memorial held Friday, two days after his death. The privacy of the Jobs and his family was of utmost importance.

Jobs spent his final days in Palo Alto, Calif. After his death, his family just released this statement for the public:

"We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief."

Recently, Apple announced, in a companywide e-mail to its employees, that they will hold a memorial service to honor Steve Jobs.

"Although many of our hearts are still heavy, we are planning a celebration of his life for Apple employees to take time to remember the incredible things Steve achieved in his life and the many ways he made our world a better place," Tim Cook, the new CEO, said in his e-mail.

But it's not the only "in memory of" Jobs that will happen next week. In a report by Entertainment Weekly, Discovery Channel is set to air a documentary entitled "iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed the World" that will premier Sunday.
