Governor DeWine issues statement on death of former President Jimmy Carter

COLUMBUS – Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the death of former President Jimmy Carter.

“Fran and I are saddened to hear of the death of former President Jimmy Carter.

“President Carter lived his faith through his public life, and he had one of the most impactful post-presidencies in American history. He dedicated his life to humanitarian work, including the building of housing through Habitat for Humanity, for which he became synonymous. He founded the Carter Center to support democracy and fight disease across the globe.

“President Carter was a member of our Greatest Generation, and was awarded the World War II victory medal, among others, for his service in the United States Navy. President Carter was our longest living ex-president, and he and the late first lady Rosalynn were the longest-married presidential couple in history, having celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary.

“Fran and I extended our sincerest condolences to President Carter’s children Jack, James, Donnel and Amy, and his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”
