Tributes poured in for former Delaware attorney general Beau Biden, who died Saturday of brain cancer at 46.
President Obama said his family was grieving with the Bidens, adding that Beau took after his father Vice President Joe Biden by devoting his life to public service.
"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," Obama said. "Just like his dad."
Delaware Governor Jack Markell extended his sympathies to the family of Joseph Robinette "Beau" Biden III.
"Carla and I are heartbroken for Hallie, his children, his parents, his siblings, and the entire Biden family. Beau spent his entire career in the service of his country and his state. He was an outstanding Attorney General, lawyer, soldier, and father. I feel privileged to have served with him and Delaware is a better place thanks to him, Markell said in a statement. "Beau was also a friend. He was unfailingly interested in the well being of Carla, my kids and my extended family. My entire family is shattered by his death. "
Markell directed that the U.S. and Delaware flags be flown at half-staff to honor Beau Biden.
Others in the political sphere, from the Clintons to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., expressed their sympathies.
My heart is broken for the family of Beau Biden—a wonderful man who served his country with devotion and lived his life with courage. -H
