Erika Kirk Remembers Late Husband Charlie Six Months After His Death: ‘I Carry You Forward’

Erika Kirk shared a tribute to her late husband, Charlie Kirk, six months after he was murdered.

“I see you in them. Especially during the smallest moments that no one else would notice,” Erika, 37, captioned a video of their two children, which she shared to Instagram on Wednesday, March 25. “Such a tenderness. It’s almost like this holy shaping that I’m witnessing in real time.”

“They’re my living reminders,” she wrote, “pieces of you so precious in my arms.”

Erika — who was recently appointed to a key advisory board of the US Air Force Academy by President Trump — continued, “It’s within these little loves that I find a quiet healing. In them, I carry you forward.”

“I cherish being able to tell them about Jesus and you…it becomes a quiet sanctuary where my grief and God’s grace meet without needing to be resolved,” she concluded. “My moments of sacred mercy.”

Charlie, who founded Turning Point USA, was shot and killed during a visit to Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.

Following his death, Erika took over as CEO and chair of the board of Turning Point USA. Days later, she planned a memorial service held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, which was reportedly attended by more than 90,000 people.
