It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we report the sudden and grievous death of Mr. Charles J. Kirk, aged thirty-one years, a prominent voice in American conservative discourse and co-founder of the organization Turning Point USA. Mr. Kirk was fatally shot during a public appearance on the campus of Utah Valley University on the 10th of September, in the year 2025.
The fatal incident occurred during what was to be an otherwise routine stop on Mr. Kirk’s American Comeback Tour, where he had stationed his now-familiar “Prove Me Wrong” table—a forum he often employed for open political dialogue. It was whilst engaged in discussion, ironically on the subject of gun violence, that a violent act was committed. Eyewitnesses and circulating footage indicate Mr. Kirk was struck in the region of the neck or head. He succumbed to his wounds before medical aid could save him.

The news of his death was solemnly announced by President Donald J. Trump through his official dispatch on the Truth Social platform.
A Life Devoted to Conviction and Family
Born in the United States in the year 1994, Mr. Kirk rose to national prominence as a fervent political commentator and tireless advocate for conservative ideals. He began his public career as a mere youth and, by 2012, had co-founded Turning Point USA, an influential movement aimed at engaging young minds in the values of liberty, free enterprise, and limited government.
Beyond the political stage, Mr. Kirk was a devoted husband and loving father. He entered into holy matrimony with Miss Erika Frantzve, a former Miss Arizona USA and fellow academic of political philosophy, on the 8th day of May, 2021, in a quiet and intimate ceremony in Scottsdale, Arizona. Their union bore two children—a daughter, born in the month of August, 2022, and a son, welcomed into the world in May of this very year.
Though he lived much of his life beneath the public eye, Mr. Kirk remained fiercely private in matters concerning his offspring. Their names and visages were kept far from the gaze of social media, a decision he described as a protection of their innocence in a world too eager to consume.
The Widow Kirk: A Woman of Grace and Purpose
Mrs. Erika Frantzve Kirk, widow of the deceased, is herself no stranger to public service. In addition to her past accomplishments in pageantry and athletics, she is a scholar, speaker, and entrepreneur. She pursued higher learning at Regis University and Arizona State, before undertaking advanced theological studies at Liberty University.
Mrs. Kirk is also the founder of PROCLAIM, a faith-based apparel line, and host of the Midweek Rise Up podcast. She has long stood as a partner in her husband’s mission, often appearing at events, interviews, and charitable undertakings by his side.
At the time of this writing, she has not yet revealed to the couple’s young children the tragic fate that has befallen their father—a burden no mother ought to bear.
A Nation in Mourning
The cruel and senseless loss of Mr. Kirk has roused a tremendous outpouring of grief from his supporters and detractors alike, many recognizing the profound impact he had on modern political discourse. His death, captured in harrowing detail by onlookers and widely disseminated through the modern mediums, has ignited renewed debate on the perils of violence in the public square.
While the investigation into the assailant and the motive continues, what remains certain is this: a young father, husband, and voice of conviction has been silenced, and a family now mourns amidst the glare of an unrelenting spotlight.
May he rest in eternal peace, and may those he loved be granted strength in the days ahead.
“Time, which sees all things, hath found this man too soon.”
