Jimmy Carter is dead, just months after celebrating his 100th birthday on Tuesday, Oct. 1. His son, James E. Carter III, known as Chip, confirmed his death but did not provide an immediate cause, reports The Washington Post.

President Jimmy Carter’s religious devotion animated his life and presidency. But Carter accepted that the intersection of faith and politics would involve compromise and moral complexity. Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, was honored by sports leagues and teams within his native Georgia.

Jimmy Carter was the first U.S. president to live to be 100 years old — a feat made even more incredible by the fact that he was alive for 40% of the nation’s history. When Carter was born in 1924, former President Calvin Coolidge was nearing the end of his first term and was just a month away from his second presidential election.

President Joe Biden appointed Jan. 9, as a day of mourning for Jimmy Carter for people to 'pay homage to the memory' of the former president.
