Conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, shared a haunting Bible verse just hours before his assassination in Utah. She posted Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. He was only 31. He leaves behind Erika, their three-year-old daughter, and 16-month-old son. The couple celebrated four years of marriage in May after a small, intimate wedding in Arizona.

Erika, once crowned Miss Arizona USA in 2012, now runs a Christian ministry program, BIBLEin365. She has often spoken of her devotion to family and faith, saying: “Above all, I cherish my role as wife and mother.”

Heartbreaking footage recently showed Kirk’s little daughter running into his arms during a Fox News appearance. Now, his family faces life without him. His loss is not only political—it is deeply personal.

This tragedy leaves a young family grieving and a nation reflecting. How should we honor his legacy?
