Biden, the former attorney general of Delaware and son of Vice President Joe Biden, died on Saturday at age 46 after a two-year battle with brain cancer.
The funeral mass will be held at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church in Wilmington, followed by a burial at the Brandywine Cemetery. A private funeral mass will be held for the Biden family on Thursday.
President Obama will deliver a eulogy for Beau Biden at the funeral mass on Saturday.
It is so sad - and I feel for his father, wife and children.
I’m a dad and Grandpa. No parent should bury a child. Period.
Beau was one of the good guys and this is such a sad loss. A great heart as a true public servant. I saw him as the next governor of Delaware and perhaps a future POTUS. I still view his dad as the best Democrat for President in 2016, placing the nation first in decision-making. RIP Dear Beau.
this is just so heartbreaking… he was one of the few genuinely sincere politicians committed to public service; and who gave you hope in a severely cynical time that there were reasons to believe in the system. the pain this family endured is unfathomable.
