Charlie Kirk Was Killed On Wednesday (September 10)
Conservative activist and commentator Charlie Kirk died on Wednesday (September 10) after he was shot during an event at Utah Valley University.
President Donald Trump confirmed Kirk’s passing on Truth Social at 4:40PM EST, writing, “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead.”
Charlie was traveling the country on his American Comeback Tour, where he visited colleges all across America to participate in productive debates at his “Prove Me Wrong Table” with students on campus who might have a different point of view than him.
He was scheduled to go to Colorado State University, University of Minnesota, Virginia Tech, Utah State, Montana State, University of North Dakota, Indiana University, Louisiana State University, and Ole Miss.
Charlie Kirk Leaves Behind A Wife And Two Young Children
Charlie Kirk married Erika Frantzve, former Miss Arizona USA, on May 8, 2021.
Erika owns PROCLAIM, a clothing and lifestyle company whose purpose is to “equip believers to boldly live out their faith and to know the Word of God from cover to cover. Every item we produce is created with intention and designed to spark and inspire Gospel conversation.”
Erika is also the host of the Midweek RiseUp podcast, a devotional series released on Wednesdays with a Meditation episode on Mondays.
On August 29, 2022, the couple welcomed their first child together, a baby girl. They have never publicly revealed their daughter’s name, only referencing her as “GK” when she was born.
Charlie and Erika had so much love for each other.
On Father’s Day last year, Erika wrote, “To the world you’re Charlie Kirk, an author, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a speaker, a radio host, a podcaster, a leader of a movement…the list could go on with your accomplishments and titles…but to us, you’re the world.”
Just a quick scroll on Erika’s Instagram page, just shows how much love there was in their family. Our hearts are broken for her and their children. May God protect them as they walk on this new journey of life without Charlie.
