A few years later, Reagan revealed through a handwritten letter that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and almost a decade later, on June 5, 2004, he passed away in his Los Angeles home at the age of 93, making him the longest-lived president at the time. “A state funeral was held for him in Washington, D.C., and Reagan was later buried on the grounds of his presidential library in California. His wife Nancy Reagan died of heart failure in 2016 at the age of 94 and was also interred at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Center for Public Affairs.” (Olsen
