We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Joseph R. Biden III, also known as Beau and the eldest son of Vice President Joe Biden. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Vice President, Dr. Jill Biden, Hallie Biden and the rest of the Biden family.

His passing is not just a loss for the Biden family but the nation. We remember him for his service to our country specifically the state of Delaware. A lawyer by training, Beau Biden joined the Delaware National Guard in 2003 and served as a Major in the Judge Advocate General Corps. He also served two terms as Delaware`s Attorney General.

We send our deepest condolences to the Biden family for their loss. Not only was Beau Biden a passionate and dedicated public servant, but he was known to be a a passionate and dedicated son, husband, and father.
