Former President Jimmy Carter announced the unexpected death of his
grandson Jeremy to a church class Sunday, just two weeks after he had
announced to the same group by revealing he had beaten cancer.
Carter arrived about 25 minutes late to his weekly class at the
Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Ga., and told the congregation his
grandson had died just hours earlier, according to the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution.
Carter said Jeremy, 28, was not feeling well Saturday and took a nap in
the family’s Peachtree City home. Hours later, his mother found him and
realized his heart had stopped, Carter said. He died in a hospital
Sunday morning, and the cause of death has not been announced.
Churchgoers told the Journal-Constitution Carter broke the heartbreaking
news, then continued with his class and even stayed to take pictures
with those in attendance.
“I’m not surprised,” church member Jan Williams told the paper. “That’s the kind of Christian he is. Everything that happens in life, good or bad, he uses as a teaching experience.”
