Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt ordered all flags on state property be lowered to half-staff until Tuesday evening after the passing of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
“Sarah and I join the nation in mourning the passing of President Jimmy Carter. His service - in the White House and as a private citizen dedicated to his country - exemplified what it means to lead with integrity, compassion, and humility. He changed lives around the world, and his dedication to peace and human dignity will be remembered by his country. My prayers are with his family as they mourn.” Governor Stitt said.
Carter, the 39th president of the United States, died on Sunday at the age of 100.
He was the longest-living former U.S. president ever.
