Former presidents and current members of Congress are remembering former President Jimmy Carter for his compassion, humility and public service.

Carter, 100, died Sunday after nearly two years in home hospice care.

“Today, America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian,” President Joe Biden said in a statement in which he called Carter, a fellow Democrat, “a dear friend.”

Biden said he will order an official state funeral for Carter in Washington.

Biden also had a message for young people and anyone in search of a life of purpose and meaning: “study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility. He showed that we are great nation because we are a good people — decent and honorable, courageous and compassionate, humble and strong.”

President-elect Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the “challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.”

Former President Barack Obama said Carter “taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service.” Obama called Carter a “remarkable man.”

Ex-President George W. Bush said Carter “dignified the office. And his efforts to leave behind a better world didn’t end with the presidency,” adding that his examples of public service “will inspire Americans for generations.”

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary said in a statement that they “give thanks for his long, good life. Guided by his faith, President Carter lived to serve others—until the very end.”

As president in 1999, Bill Clinton awarded Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, the Medal of Freedom.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement that Carter “personified the true meaning of leadership through service, through compassion, and through integrity.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Carter’s rise from humble beginnings to the White House “is a testament to the boundless opportunities available in this great nation.”

“No one can deny that President Carter led an extraordinary life of service to his country,” Johnson said.

Sen. Raphael Warnock, a fellow Georgia Democrat, posted on X that Carter was one of his heroes because he was “the embodiment of faith coming alive through the noble work of public service.”

“A life well lived,” Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., posted online. “Whatever you think if his politics, Jimmy Carter’s legacy of service is unmatched."

Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., wrote that the 39th president was “a good man, in the purest sense of the words.” He added, “There will never be another Jimmy Carter.”
