Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100 in Plains, Georgia.
Carter, who had been in hospice care since early 2023, is remembered for his presidency (1977โ1981) and lifelong dedication to humanitarian causes.
Carterโs leadership saw historic events like the Camp David Accords, which brought peace between Israel and Egypt, and challenges such as the Iran hostage crisis.
After his presidency, Carter founded the Carter Center, worked with Habitat for Humanity, and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his global peace efforts.
Tributes have poured in from world leaders and former presidents, with President Joe Biden describing Carter as an “extraordinary leader and humanitarian.” Public observances and a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral are planned for January 9, 2025. Carter will be laid to rest in Plains, Georgia, alongside his wife, Rosalynn.
