Beau Biden Dies of Cancer

Joe Biden has elected Vice President twice and as been in office since 2009. Biden is now facing a mishap in his family;  his son, Joseph Robinette Biden III, also known as “Beau” Biden, has passed away at the age of 46.

The Vice President’s son had been battling cancer for a while now and finally breathed his last on the night of May 30th. The former Attorney-General of Delaware had been fighting brain cancer and lost in his struggle.

Beau Biden was admitted at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. When asked about Beau Biden, President Obama said,

“A good, big-hearted, devoutly Catholic and deeply faithful man, who made a difference in the lives of all he touched — and he lives on in their hearts. But for all that Beau Biden achieved in his life, nothing made him prouder; nothing made him happier; nothing claimed a fuller focus of his love and devotion than his family.”

Joe Biden released a statement in lieu of his son’s demise. He said,

“The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words. We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us — especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable children, Natalie and Hunter.”
