"One year and one day from Beau," she wrote in the caption, adding, "Big brothers are the best."
Her Memories of Beau Remain Close
Ashley Biden fondly evoked her brother Beau during the 2024 Democratic National Convention, stating his spirit remains always with their family.
Biden has continued to speak warmly about her brother in the years since his death. In 2024, she mentioned him while introducing their father, Joe Biden, at the Democratic National Convention.
"I know that Beau is here with us tonight, as he is always with us," she said at the time.
She revealed a touching tribute to him: "After Beau passed, I got this tattoo on my wrist. It says, 'Courage, dear heart.'"
Beau was the eldest son of Joe and his late wife, Neilia, who alongside their 1-year-old daughter, Naomi, died in a tragic car accident. Beau and Hunter were also in the vehicle at the time but survived.
He served as Delaware's attorney general before his death and also served in the Delaware National Guard and deployed to Iraq.
