Former President Jimmy Carter, a transformative figure in American politics and global humanitarian efforts, passed away on Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia. He was 100 years old. His son, Chip Carter, confirmed the news, marking the end of a remarkable life dedicated to public service and philanthropy.

Jimmy Carter, the longest-living U.S. president, entered hospice care in February 2023 after a series of hospitalizations. Born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, Carter was the first Georgian to ascend to the presidency. His single term in office was marked by significant achievements, including the Camp David Accords, which brokered peace between Israel and Egypt, though it was marred by the Iran hostage crisis.

Carter’s post-presidency years were defined by his humanitarian work. Alongside his wife, Rosalynn, he founded the Carter Center in Atlanta, focusing on global health, democracy, and peace initiatives. His dedication to Habitat for Humanity showcased his commitment to improving lives through hands-on efforts.

Carter’s early life was shaped by his upbringing in Plains, where he was the eldest of four children. His career began in the Navy’s elite nuclear submarine program, but he returned to Georgia in 1953 to manage the family farm after his father’s death. This move set the stage for his entry into politics, eventually leading to his election as Georgia’s governor in 1970 and his successful presidential campaign in 1976.

Despite challenges during his presidency, including economic struggles and political opposition, Carter’s legacy grew through his relentless advocacy for human rights and environmental conservation. His efforts earned him numerous accolades, including the Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Carter’s passing comes just months after the death of his beloved wife, Rosalynn, with whom he shared 77 years of marriage. Together, they left an indelible mark on the world, celebrated for their compassion and dedication to service.

“People will be celebrating Jimmy Carter for hundreds of years. His reputation is only going to grow.”

Rice University history professor Douglas Brinkley noted

Jimmy Carter’s life and legacy will continue to inspire generations. Carter is survived by his children, Amy, Chip, Jack, and Jeff, along with 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
