He is survived by four children, 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
Carter became the first ex-US president to reach 100 years on October 1, 2024.
He lost his re-election bid to Ronald Reagan in 1981 and left the White House with low approval ratings amid an economic turmoil.
He would go on to immerse himself in humanitarian work which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Rosalynn, Carter’s wife of 77 years, died in November 2023.
