My father always loved him! He said very little about politics. However, this was a man that he admired and respected way before he was ever president. He said that Jimmy Carter will leave changes that will affect the world long after he passes.

I remember that he was such a warm person who wore cardigan sweaters to his fireside chats with the nation during his presidency. I have a peanut necklace that has his toothy smile and that I was proud to wear after he won the election of 1976. He was a wonderful man whose life we should all try to emulate.

President and Mrs. Carter thank you for lives well lived and for doing God's work. May you both rest easy now in the arms of the Lord! And God bless the Carter family.

I have a lot of respect and honor for him for all he did for our country as President and after he left office. He worked tirelessly all his years. I will miss him and think of him often.

Dear President Mr. Jimmy Carter,
Thank you for your inspiring life of simplicity, inspiring leadership, generosity, and the courage to undertake tasks that are not typically expected of a former President of the United States. Your approach to leadership has truly made you a remarkable and beloved People's President. Through your work, you made the world a better place to live.
Your contributions to Habitat for Humanity and its mission of building homes have had a lasting impact. Your visit to India in 2005 for the construction of housing has inspired many corporate leaders to join in our mission.
It is both a privilege and an honour to pay homage to you, dear President Carter. Your life and legacy will continue to inspire future generations.
Rest in peace.

I saw Jimmy Carter speak when he began campaigning, it was in 1975, I was a college student, he came to University of Buffalo (at the time it was State University of New York @ Buffalo). I was either a freshman or a sophomore. My first presidential election was in 1976, I don't think I need to say who I voted for. In his honor, I've become a monthly donor to Habitat for Humanity.

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were well before my time. I'm 29 years old but, growing up and learning about President Carter I always knew he was one of the most fair and altruistic presidents we have had in US History. After his passing and hearing Habitat executives talk on behalf of Jimmy what he truly did inspired me. Since then, I have become a regular supporter and hope to be more involved.

My father was a supporter of Habitat for Humanity. He greatly respected the Carters' dedication to housing. When Dad could no longer drive, he decided to donate his vehicle to Habitat but first insisted that it be fully serviced because, “I want to provide a vehicle to this fine organization that will not fall apart on them. They deserve better.” So he & I took it to be serviced. Bless y'all.

When he was Governor, my brother's scout Explorer troop went on a mission to save the Flynt River from being dammed. They went to Carter and gave their presentation and he reversed the decision to dam the river which was heavily used by scouts. It was a true Mr. Smith moment. I have many special memories about him, my parents got to know him after my brothers visit.

Sadly we never met, but I told him via our pen pal notes that I always admired his love for family. His contribution to human rights, environment, peace & justice. He lived to 100 to vote for Kamala Harris.

Jimmy Carter inspired my father, Ace Cain, to get involved with San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity. Carter's remarkable funeral service inspired me to go to the this website - where I found your tribute to Carter and realized this organization is the perfect place for me to support relief efforts for victims of the Eaton Fire. Thank you.
