Charlie Kirk is being remembered on what would have been his 32nd birthday in a video shared by his widow, Erika, and Turning Point USA
Charlie Kirk is being remembered on what would have been his 32nd birthday.
A new video, shared by his widow, Erika Kirk, and his nonprofit Turning Point USA via Instagram on Tuesday, October 14, paid tribute to the memories the right-wing influencer left behind with his family, including clips from the couple’s wedding day, the birth of their children and past milestone moments.
“He was the perfect father. He was the perfect husband,” Erika, 36, said in a voiceover as a snippet from his proposal was shown. (Erika announced her engagement to Charlie in December 2020 with the caption, “When God writes your love story, you get to marry your best friend.”)
The pair exchanged vows the following year in Scottsdale, Arizona, on May 8, 2021. Charlie’s conservative nonprofit organization funded their wedding reception at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess hotel.
Erika and Charlie later welcomed a daughter in August 2022 and a son in May 2024.
“And over and over, he would tell all these young people to come and find their future spouse, become wives and husbands and parents,” Erika can be heard saying in the video, discussing her late husband’s political mission.
