Gergen &#8220;devoted decades of his life to serving those who sought to serve,&#8221; said Hannah Riley Bowles, a former co-director of the school&#8217;s Center for Public Leadership, where Gergen was the founding director.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;David was a principled leader of unmatched character, integrity and kindness, who chose to see goodness in every person he met,&#8221; Riley Bowles told the AP.<\/p>\n<p>Al Gore, who served as Clinton&#8217;s vice president, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/algore\/status\/1943802202109177992\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">posted on X<\/a>, &#8220;Of the countless ways that David Gergen contributed to our great country, what I will remember him for most was his kindness to everyone he worked with, his sound judgment, and his devotion to doing good in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>David Richmond Gergen was born in North Carolina and graduated from Yale University and the Harvard Law School, according to a biography on the Harvard Kennedy School website. He would go on to receive 27 honorary degrees over the course of his career. <\/p>\n<p>Gergen founded the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and remained there as professor of public service emeritus until his death, according to the school&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p>After serving in the U.S. Navy in the 1960s, Gergen took his first White House job in 1971, serving as a speechwriting assistant for Nixon. Bipartisanship and collaboration were hallmarks of his long career, said colleagues who paid testimonials on social media Friday.<\/p>\n<p>He was also a media personality who worked as a senior political analyst for CNN. In his 2022 book &#8220;Hearts Touched with Fire: How Great Leaders are Made,&#8221; he wrote: &#8220;Our greatest leaders have emerged from both good times and, more often, challenging ones&#8230;\u00a0 The very finest among them make the difficult calls, that can ultimately alter the course of history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, the then 79-year-old Gergen <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/david-gergen-on-the-state-of-our-democracy-hearts-touched-with-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">spoke with<\/a><\/span> &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning,&#8221; where he expressed alarm about the state of American democracy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t continue on the path we&#8217;re on; it&#8217;s unsustainable,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It has the sense that we&#8217;re, like, in a car, at midnight, on the edge of a cliff, with rain falling, and no headlights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A private burial is scheduled for Mount Auburn Cemetery on Monday, said Mark Douglass, director of Douglass Funeral Home in Lexington, Massachusetts.
