Former president Jimmy Carter’s grandson Jeremy passed away early this morning of unknown causes. He was only 28 years old.
Carter told the crowded church that his grandson hadn’t been feeling well Saturday and laid down to take a nap at his family’s home in Peachtree City. His mother checked on him later and discovered his heart had stopped.
He died early Sunday at the hospital. A cause of death was unclear.
It’s all the more tragic that this comes only a few weeks after President Carter joyfully announced that he’s cancer-free. His family must be absolutely heartbroken right now.
Grant to Jeremy eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
