6:39Now PlayingFormer President Jimmy Carter spent his post-presidency “helping those in need,” grandson Joshua Carter said in a tribute Thursday.
“My grandfather spent the entire time I’ve known him helping those in need. He built houses for people who needed homes. He eliminated diseases in forgotten places. He waged peace anywhere in the world, wherever he saw the chance. He loved people," Joshua Carter said.
He added that Jimmy Carter was driven to help by his Christian faith and the example of Jesus Christ.
“Whenever he told these stories on Sunday school, he always said he did it for one simple reason. He worshiped the prince of peace and he commanded it,” Joshua Carter said.
In attendance at the funeral were Carter family members, world leaders and the five living U.S. presidents -- Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
The official state funeral in Washington on Thursday caps a long farewell that began — and will end — in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. Carter died Dec. 29 at age 100.
