Is/was the founder of

Emotion: smile
Hi there, if someone asks me "Who is the founder of apple?", Should I reply in present tense or past tense? Like, "The founder of the apple is/was Steve jobs": 'Was' or 'is', which one should I use? As I know the person is not alive, I think I should use past tense. But the questioner asks the question in present tense, then what form should I use?
