Hello,

You say the Battery is fine, did you have it tested?

Can you explain what exactly happen when you car died.

Did you go out to start it and it wouldn't.

Were you driving it and it just died while driving.

It dies when it was turned off. The battery was tested the week prior to this incident. When I go to turn it over, it is silent. There is not even an attempt to start, it did make a clicking sound though.

Ok, if you can have someone help you try to jump start it. The Clicking is a good indication of a weak battery, Bad Battery connections. If it does start with jumping remove the cables at both ends and make sure they are clean then reattach making sure they are good and tight. Then try starting, if doesn't start and just clicks jump start it and go by your local parts store and have them test your Battery, Charging and Starting System.
