In a heartfelt tribute, Carter’s son Chip reflected on his father’s profound influence: “My father 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.”

Public observances to honor President Carter’s life and legacy will be held in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., followed by a private interment in Plains, Georgia. Details of the state funeral, including motorcade routes and events, will be released by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region.

Jimmy Carter’s legacy of compassion, unity, and service will continue to inspire generations around the world.
