Former US President Jimmy Carter dies at 100

Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has passed away at the age of 100.

On Oct. 1, 2024, Carter turned 100. The former U.S. president set a record for the longest-lived U.S. president. He first broke the record on Oct. 1, 2019, when he turned 95.

Carter was also a “record-holder” for his marriage to Rosalynn Carter, his lifelong advisor, who passed away in 2023 at the age of 96. The couple shared 73 years of marriage, which—except for the four years they lived in Washington, D.C., during Carter’s presidency—they spent on a small farm in Georgia that Carter himself built in 1961.

It was on this very farm that the former U.S. president passed away.

Incumbent U.S. President Joe Biden has declared January 9, 2025, a national day of mourning in honor of Carter’s legacy. The farewell ceremony for the 39th president of the United States will take place in Washington, D.C.
