US Vice President's Son, Beau Biden Dies At 46 according to a statement by the White House. Joseph “Beau” Biden III, an Iraq War veteran who also served as the attorney general of Delaware died after battling brain cancer, the vice president’s office said. Beau Biden is the first child of a sitting president or vice president to die since Patrick Bouvier Kennedy passed away two days after his birth in 1963.
Vice President Biden said in his statement, “More than his professional accomplishments, Beau measured himself as a husband, father, son and brother. His absolute honor made him a role model for our family. Beau embodied my father’s saying that a parent knows success when his child turns out better than he did.”
President Obama, in a statement honoring Beau Biden’s life said, “Beau Biden believed the best of us all. For him, and for his family, we swing our lanterns higher.”
