Carter is survived by his four children—Jack, Chip, Jeff, and Amy—as well as 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Rosalynn, who passed earlier, and one grandchild. His passing marks the end of a remarkable life dedicated to peace, human rights, and service to humanity.
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.”
