Jimmy Carter Dead at 100: Former US President Passes Away in His Georgia Home

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away on December 29, 2024, at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family. He was 100 years old, making him the longest-lived president in U.S. history.

Carter's legacy is marked by his commitment to peace, human rights, and humanitarian work. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts to promote peace and democracy worldwide. After leaving office, Carter continued to work tirelessly through the Carter Center, which he founded with his wife Rosalynn, to advance human rights, democracy, and global health.

As president, Carter is remembered for his role in brokering the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, a historic peace treaty that has endured for decades. He also championed environmental causes, established the Department of Education, and promoted human rights globally.

Carter's family, including his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, survive him. His wife Rosalynn passed away in November 2023. The family has requested that donations be made to The Carter Center in lieu of flowers.
