The world suffered a tremendous loss earlier this week when actor and comedic genius Robin Williams died of an apparent suicide at age 63. Various news and media outlets have been paying tribute to the late comedy pioneer in various ways, and now Apple has joined in, paying homage to Williams with a new dedicated webpage on its site.

Headed with “Robin Williams, 1951-2014,” the moving page features just a single large image of Williams, seen above, along with three brief sentences: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Robin Williams. He inspired us through his passion, his generosity, and the gift of laughter. He will be greatly missed.”

Williams had long battled depression and is believed to have ultimately succumbed to the affliction. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline can be reached at 1-800-273-TALK.
