Narrative Summary of Mona Simpson’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs
Mona Simpson begins by describing the moment she first learned she had a brother. She grew up imagining an older brother who would protect her—someone brilliant and kind—and when she finally met Steve in adulthood, she felt she had received exactly the brother she had hoped for.
She portrays Steve as someone intensely devoted to love, work, and beauty. Although he was famous for his discipline and perfectionism, she emphasizes that he was also deeply emotional, loyal, and surprisingly tender. He believed in love with the same intensity he applied to building Apple.
Simpson explains that Steve lived his life with unusual focus and simplicity. He cared very little about material possessions; instead, he sought elegance, honesty, and excellence in everything—relationships, ideas, products, and even in how he spent his time. He was demanding not out of ego, but because he believed the people around him were capable of greatness.
She describes his fierce love for Laurene, his wife, portraying their marriage as a partnership based on devotion, admiration, and mutual strength. He adored his children and tried to be fully present with them even as he battled illness. He structured his days around family and meaningful work.
As his illness progressed, Simpson saw him maintain the same sense of purpose. He approached death with clarity and even curiosity, trying to make sense of what was happening to him. He remained grateful for his life, and for the people in it, right up to the end.
In his last hours, his family gathered around him. He looked at each of them with deep affection. Then he lifted his gaze over their shoulders, as if seeing something beyond. In that moment, he spoke his final words:
“Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.”
Simpson ends by reflecting on how Steve’s life was defined by love and wonder, and how—even in dying—he remained open to beauty and mystery.
