Our thoughts and prayers are with Biden Family during these difficult times…Full story in comments 👇👇👇…

The United States is grieving the loss of Joseph R. Biden Jr., the 46th President, who passed away peacefully at his Wilmington, Delaware home at the age of 81. Surrounded by family, Biden’s death—believed to be from natural causes—marks the end of a political career spanning over fifty years.

Biden’s legacy is defined by resilience, empathy, and his connection to ordinary Americans. From his early years as Delaware’s U.S. Senator to his service as Vice President under Barack Obama and ultimately as President from 2021 to 2025, he guided the nation through the COVID-19 crisis, steered economic recovery, and advanced major infrastructure and climate initiatives.

Tributes have poured in from political allies, opponents, and global leaders. Former President Obama called him “a man of deep faith, unwavering principles, and extraordinary kindness,” while the current President ordered flags at half-staff, describing Biden as “a steady hand in turbulent times.”

Biden’s public life was deeply shaped by personal loss, including the tragic deaths of his first wife and infant daughter in 1972, and his son Beau in 2015. His unwavering devotion to his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, their children, and grandchildren became a central part of his public identity. In his memoir, he reflected, “The purpose of life is to find purpose—and to leave things better than you found them.”

Plans for a national memorial in Washington, D.C., followed by a private burial in Delaware, have been announced. As the nation remembers him, his parting words during his final White House Christmas address resonate deeply: “Hold your loved ones close. Believe in the good this country can do. And never, ever give up on hope.”
