President Jimmy Carter died today at age 100 at home in Plains, Georgia.

On February 18, The Carter Center issued a statement regarding the former president’s health and announcing he had begun hospice care.

“After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. He has the full support of his family and his medical team.”

He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Rosalynn Carter who died on November 19, also at the couple's home.

In recent years, the Georgia native faced many health battles. He successfully beat brain cancer in 2015, but then a series of medical events in 2019 led him to have surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. Per CNN, following this surgery he had to give up his long standing tradition of teaching Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown.

REST IN PEACE MR CARTER.
