Brown tweeted the message late Friday after reports that some of Silicon Valley's biggest names had been invited to a memorial dedicated to Jobs next week.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is planning a special service for Jobs at Stanford University this Sunday.
The small gathering of friends and tech industry insiders follows the private funeral held last week, and comes before Apple's local Oct. 19 celebration.
According to the Journal, invitations requested guests respond to Emerson Collective, a philanthropy established by Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs.
An Apple spokesman said the service on Sunday is a private invitation-only event.
Jobs died on Oct. 5 after a years-long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Dear Steve,
You have taught me so much about life.
1. Have a vision and a purpose.
2. Go after that vision and purpose.
3. Don?t be afraid of other people when they get in the way of your vision and purpose.
4. Work hard and long, and when that is not enough, work harder.
5. Confront people when appropriate. It makes magic happen.
6. Make sure that the work produced is beautiful.
7. Make sure that the work produced is functional.
8. Don?t be afraid to start over.
Your friend,
Sim
Can't disagree with that.
RIP Mr. Jobs
I always liked Jerry, and Steve. More than MLK or flag day, earth day arbor day, Columbus day or Halloween it could be a national holiday as far as I'm concerned.

Halloween kicks ass around here (SF Bay Area), so I'm not with you there.
Too bad it's a Sunday. I'd love it if parking meters were unenforced on Steve Jobs Day.
Maybe it could be a reverse national holiday
Jobs Day:
a day when everybody pays tribute to the model that Steve was and works as hard as they can to produce something lasting. Just one day out of the year, when instead of dreaming about getting out of working to sit on the coach, we carpe diem and unleash our potential to its fullest.
That would be more the type holiday that would honor Mr Steve Jobs.
