The former president became the oldest living president in 2018 when George H.W. Bush died at the age of 94.

He has survived metastatic brain cancer, liver cancer, and a number of health scares, including brain surgery following a fall in 2019.

Jimmy Carter, now 99, made the decision to enter hospice care at his longtime home in Plains, Georgia in February 2023 after a series of hospital stays. He made a rare public appearance in November 2023 after his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter died.

“My grandmother’s passing was a difficult moment for all of us, including my grandfather,” Jason told the audience at the forum.

“The outpouring of love and support that we as a family received from the people in this room and from the rest of the world was so remarkable and meaningful for us and really turned this process into a celebration.”

“‘People ask me how you’re doing and I say, I don’t know’ and he said, ‘Well, I don’t know myself,’” Jason remembered.

Although he’s lived a long life, it still breaks my heart to hear this news about Jimmy Carter.
