By Horace Palacio: Former President Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has passed away at the age of 100, according to a statement from the Carter Center. The former president, known for his lifelong commitment to public service and humanitarian efforts, died peacefully in his home.
Carter, who served a single term in office from 1977 to 1981, transitioned to home hospice care in February 2023 after a series of brief hospital stays. Despite his declining health, he remained a symbol of resilience and continued to inspire many through his work with the Carter Center, which he co-founded with his wife, Rosalynn Carter.
Rosalynn Carter, the former first lady, passed away on November 19, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy for mental health and caregiving. The Carters, married for more than 77 years, were celebrated for their enduring partnership and dedication to improving lives worldwide.
This marks the end of a remarkable chapter in American history. Jimmy Carter’s presidency was defined by efforts to promote peace, human rights, and environmental stewardship. Following his time in the White House, he became widely respected for his post-presidency contributions, including his role in advancing global health, mediating international conflicts, and building homes for the underserved through Habitat for Humanity.
As the nation mourns his loss, tributes are expected to pour in from across the globe, reflecting on his profound impact on the world stage and his role as a statesman and humanitarian.
