In a moving tribute that has captured the hearts of thousands, Erika Frantzve, wife of the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, shared an intimate and heartwarming video of her husband just days before his tragic death.
The video, posted to Instagram, shows Charlie sitting beside the couple’s young daughter, gently teaching her about Sir Isaac Newton and the laws of physics.
“Very important,” Charlie begins, smiling softly. “Sir Isaac Newton fell asleep underneath a tree. And then an apple hit him.”
Holding one of his daughter’s toys, he continues the lesson with patience and care:
“You keep on thinking when you drop it, it comes back up, but it doesn’t. Okay — the three laws of Newtonian physics.”
He then calmly recites Newton’s three laws of motion:
An object at rest will stay at rest.
For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Before ending the lesson, Charlie looks lovingly at his little girl and says, “I’ll quiz you later.” The video ends with him asking her if she has any questions — a simple yet powerful glimpse into his deep love for teaching, fatherhood, and family life.
Erika’s Emotional Tribute
In the caption, Erika shared her grief and love in just a few heartfelt words:
“My favorite memories will forever be us raising our babies together. I love you @charliekirk1776. …tell Sir Isaac Newton that GG is ready for her quiz.”
The post quickly went viral, with thousands offering prayers, condolences, and words of comfort.
One fan wrote:
“So sweet. I’m so glad you have all of these videos. Love this, love you, and love GG’s little chunky arm rolls.”
Another commented:
“We miss you Charlie!! We are mourning with you E! Love you.”
A Devoted Father and Husband
Charlie Kirk, just 31 years old at the time of his death, was more than a conservative firebrand — he was a husband, a father of two, and a man who cherished family above all.
The couple’s daughter had just celebrated her third birthday in August, while their son turned one this past May. Erika, a former Miss Arizona and media personality, has been open about their shared faith and love for family life.
A Life Cut Short
Charlie was tragically shot and killed on September 10 at Utah Valley University. Authorities allege the shooter was 22-year-old Utah local Tyler Robinson. The shocking event sent ripples across the nation, leaving supporters and critics alike in disbelief.
Remembering Charlie Beyond Politics
For many, Charlie Kirk will be remembered not just as the founder of Turning Point USA or as a political figure — but as a father who loved deeply, a husband who supported his wife, and a man who took time to teach his little girl about the world.
One fan’s comment captured the collective grief perfectly:
“I pray the world forever sees his face and remembers this Charlie. A loving father and husband. Because of Jesus, we love you. I’m so sorry.”
This emotional post has become more than just a memory — it is a reminder of the man behind the headlines: a teacher, a protector, and a father whose final lesson was not just about physics, but about love, patience, and leaving a legacy his children will carry forever.
