The Carter Center announced that Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States, passed away at the age of 100. James Earl Carter Jr. was born in 1924 into a farmer’s family. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy and then served onboard a submarine after World War II. After serving in the Navy, Carter returned and took the lead with his family farm.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States and a former peanut farmer whose vision of a “competent and compassionate” government propelled him into the White House, died on Sunday, the Carter Center confirmed. He was 100.<\/p>\n

The news was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday, shortly before The Carter Center, the late president’s non-profit organization, made an announcement on X.<\/p>\n

“Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” the organization’s post read.<\/p>\n

Carter’s death follows the passing of his wife Rosalynn on Nov. 19, 2023. She died at the age of 96 with her family by her side at the Carter home in Plains, just days after she had been admitted to hospice care.<\/p>\n

The late former president himself had entered hospice care in February 2023. Carter survived for years after he had a “small mass” removed from his liver in early August 2015 and later that month announced he had liver cancer that had spread throughout his body.<\/p>\n

The Carter family had a history of cancer and the former president lost his father, brother, and two sisters to pancreatic cancer. His mother had breast cancer, which later spread to her pancreas.<\/p>\n

Jason Carter, Carter’s grandson, had announced in May that he believed the former president was “coming to the end” of his life’s journey. But the former president hung on much longer.<\/p>\n

The soft-spoken leader with a signature Georgia drawl saw his single term in the Oval Office clouded by an economic downturn at home and a hostage crisis abroad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
