Sheryl Sandberg is the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook. Dave Goldberg, is her husband and father of her children. He was the CEO of SurveyMonkey, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and venture capitalist. He died suddenly Friday night, according to a Facebook post from his brother. He was 47.
Dave’s company SurveyMonkey said in a statement yesterday:
“We are deeply saddened to announce that Dave Goldberg passed away suddenly last night. Dave’s genius, courage and leadership were overshadowed only by his compassion, friendship and heart. His greatest love was for his family. Our sympathy goes out to them and to all who were touched by this extraordinary man. We are all heartbroken.”
Goldberg’s brother, Robert Goldberg, confirmed the news via Facebook on Friday.
“In this time of sorrow, we mourn his passing and remember what an amazing husband, father, brother, son and friend he was,” he wrote. (He did not disclose the cause of death.)
“No words can express the depth of loss we feel, but we want his children to learn how much he meant to all of you,” he continued. “In lieu of donations, we want to celebrate his life in a manner that respects the family’s privacy as they cope with this tragic, life changing event: Sheryl, their children, and our family would be grateful if people would post their memories and pictures of Dave to his Facebook profile.“
