NEW YORK — Though Jimmy Carter was a U.S. president, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and the founder of a global organization, The Carter Center, to his more than one dozen grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he was a grandfather first and foremost, his grandson Jason Carter told "Good Morning America."
"He's an interesting guy, but he really was a grandfather to me first," Jason Carter said in a live interview Tuesday on "GMA," just days after the former president's death on Dec. 29, at age 100.
Jimmy Carter is survived by four children and around two dozen grandchildren and great-grandchildren, according to the Jimmy Carter Library.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, who died on Nov. 19, 2023, at age 96.
