Here is more from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Former President Jimmy Carter, a man who redefined what a post-presidency could be, died Sunday. He was 100.
His son, Chip Carter confirmed that the former president died at his home in Plains about 3:45 p.m.
Carter, who lived longer than any other U.S. president, entered home hospice care in Plains, Georgia in February 2023 after a series of short hospital stays.
Carter was the only Georgian ever elected president, and was the longest-living U.S. president.

His post-presidency was defined by his humanitarian work, notably with Habitat for Humanity. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for his various humanitarian work in 2002.
RIP, Jimmy Carter.

Perhaps the best post-presidency ever—he showed us the sort of person a POTUS is supposed to be.
He had been in hospice since early 2023, and had numerous health issues over the years, including several bouts of cancer.

Even The Simpsons had to commemorate him.
God speed, Jimmy Carter.

A singularly lousy President for four years (though there’s no denying he tried), but a good and Godly man out here in the world where it really matters.
Rest now, faithful servant. And say hey to Ms Rosalynn. pic.twitter.com/J7hJB24j9a
Wife Rosalynn died in November 2023. The couple were married 77 years.
RIP Jimmy Carter.

His presidency was marred by economic and geopolitical woes, and he only served one term.
President Jimmy Carter gave us a pure and lasting example of a public servant. His life and legacy will forever be a lesson on the power in one person’s will to do good. I’m sending love to the Carter family today as we honor his life and untiring, humble mission to help others. https://t.co/y9az4L6hZy

He was.
Jimmy Carter was perhaps the best ex-POTUS ever. Humble, serving, caring, and intentional. Rest well.

Prior to his term as president, Carter served in the Georgia state senate from 1963 to 1967 and as the 76th governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975.
Carter is survived by his children James, Jack, Donnel, and Amy, as well as 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Rest in Peace.
