Rest in Peace

President Jimmy Carter

America’s longest living President passed away yesterday, December 29, 2024, at the age of 100 in Plains, Georgia.

Former President Jimmy Carter was born James Earl Carter, Jr in Plains, Georgia on October 1, 1924. He served as our 39th President from 1977 to 1981. He was a distinguished Naval Officer, author and humanitarian. He along with his wife, Rosalyn, founded the Carter Center. He was involved in efforts to resolve conflict, promote democracy, protect human rights, and prevent disease and other afflictions. For many years the Carters volunteered one week a year for Habitat for Humanity.

President Jimmy Carter’s death comes just two years after his wife’s, former First Lady Rosalyn Carter, death. He went into Hospice care in February of 2023.

Jimmy Carter was a true humanitarian, working continuously to seek to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhancing freedom and democracy and ensuring to improve health. He was awarded the Noble Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian efforts.

His son, Chip Carter made a statement “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love,” which I am in total agreement. He was a selfless man who tirelessly worked to improve life around the world, always seeking peace, demonstrating his unselfish love.

May you Rest in Peace, President Jimmy Carter.
