Ronald Reagan was 93-years-old when he passed away in 2004. He became ill with pneumonia, which was complicated by his previously diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease. President Bush declared June 11, 2004, as a National Day of Mourning. His life had been celebrated by his family at his funeral two days before.

Before his death, he was the oldest living former President. Anyone who visits Ronald Reagan’s grave will be welcomed with these words, “I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph and that there is purpose and worth to each and every life.”
