Charlie Kirk, conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, has passed away, leaving behind his devoted wife, Erika, and their two young children. Erika and the kids were present during the incident but unharmed.
Known for his public work, Charlie’s greatest joy was his family. He and Erika married in 2021, later welcoming a daughter in 2022 and a son in 2024. Erika, a former Miss Arizona USA, is a ministry leader, entrepreneur, and founder of BIBLEin365 and PROCLAIM, a faith-based clothing line.
Charlie often shared glimpses of their life together, celebrating milestones like their children’s birthdays and anniversaries. Erika described their marriage as rooted in faith and love, calling Charlie her best friend and biggest supporter.
Charlie’s passing has left a deep void for Erika and their children, but his legacy of faith, family devotion, and leadership will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.
