Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has passed away at the age of 100. He died peacefully on December 29, 2024, at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family.¹

Carter was a remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on American history. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his tireless efforts to promote peace, human rights, and democracy around the world.

As President, Carter served from 1977 to 1981, during which time he brokered the Camp David Accords, a historic peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. He also established the Department of Energy and the Department of Education.

Carter’s legacy extends far beyond his presidency. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and is survived by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His family remembered him as a hero who inspired them with his commitment to peace, human rights, and unselfish love.

The Carter family has announced plans for public observances in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., followed by a private interment in Plains, Georgia. They have also requested that donations be made to The Carter Center, a non-profit organization founded by Carter and his wife Rosalynn to promote peace, democracy, and human rights around the world.
