Charlie Kirk’s Wife, Erika, Vows His “Voice Will Remain” After His Death
Justin Moore wants Charlie Kirk’s family to know he’s thinking of them.
Charlie Kirk was a conservative political activist, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, the CEO of Turning Point Action, and the host of a daily radio show. The 31-year-old was traveling across the country on his American Comeback Tour, which took him to Utah Valley University on September 10th.
Things took a tragic turn when Charlie was shot while speaking to the crowd. President Trump confirmed at 4:40 PM ET that Charlie died from his injuries.
A manhunt ensued for the suspect, who evaded police for several days. Then, on September 12th, authorities announced that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson had been arrested in connection with the crime.
Charlie married former Miss Arizona USA, Erika Frantzve, on May 8, 2021. The couple shared a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son.
On September 11th, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance accompanied Charlie’s casket and Erika Kirk on Air Force Two, transporting them from Utah to Arizona.
Then, on September 12th, Erika Kirk broke her silence to deliver a message from Charlie’s studio in Arizona. She vowed to continue his mission, saying, “In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, my husband’s voice will remain.”
She added:
“You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife, the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”
“They should all know this: if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before you have no idea, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world.”
Country Artist Justin Moore Delivers Emotional Dedication To Charlie Kirk’s Wife And Children
Justin Moore performed at the Hop Country Music Fest in Yakima, Washington, a few days after Charlie Kirk was killed. Before singing his emotional #1 song “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” Justin shared a message for Erika Kirk and her kids.
“I regret that I never had the opportunity to meet Charlie or his family,” Justin said. “But I don’t care which side of the aisle you’re on. It’s just a tragic, tragic deal. It just shouldn’t happen…And as my wife and I, we just celebrated twenty-three years together and we have four kids. I cannot imagine the questions that [Erika’s] having to answer to a three and a one-year-old. It just breaks my heart.”
Justin fought back tears as he dedicated “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” to the Kirk family.
“I promise you though, he is at the right hand of Jesus right now. And we ain’t, so he’s got it better than all of us do, I promise you. Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done…God bless him and the life he led. And I’m sure his legacy will live on, and on, and on. I sure hope so.”
Justin added:
“We’ll send this out to his family tonight. I’m sure they’ll never see this, but if they happen to run across it on YouTube or something, I hope they know that their husband, and their dad, and all his friends and family, they had a hell of a fan in me, I promise you.“
