Former President Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, whose post-presidential work as a humanitarian set a modern standard for the kind of legacy presidents can craft after their time in the White House, has died at 100 years old.
"Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia," the Carter Center announced Sunday in a social media post.
His son Chip Carter said in a statement that he was a "hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love."
"My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs," Chip Carter said.
