Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away on Sunday at the age of 100 at his home in Plains, Georgia. His son, James E. Carter III, confirmed the news but did not disclose an immediate cause of death. According to reports, Carter had been under hospice care since February 2023, following several hospitalizations.
In recent years, the former President had battled an aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer, which had spread to his liver and brain. Carter’s last public appearance was on October 1, 2024, when he celebrated his 100th birthday with family and friends, watching a flyover outside his home.
A Life of Service
Jimmy Carter, born in Plains, Georgia, led a remarkable life. From being a small-town peanut farmer to a US Navy veteran and later the governor of Georgia, he became the first president from the Deep South since 1837. He served as the US President from 1977 to 1981 and was instrumental in key peace negotiations and international treaties.
Carter is best remembered for brokering the Camp David Accords, which resulted in a lasting peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. His efforts earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his decades-long dedication to resolving global conflicts, promoting democracy, and advancing human rights.
Additionally, Carter played a significant role in transferring control of the Panama Canal to Panama, a move that improved US-Latin American relations.
