The Turning Point USA CEO, 37, shared a heartbreaking photo of their 3-year-old daughter to her Instagram Story on Sunday, January 11, featuring the little girl holding his book Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life, which was posthumously released on December 9.
“Daddy’s final story book,” Erika wrote over the photo, which was taken from overhead so that her followers can’t see their daughter’s face.
While Erika posts photos of their two children — they also share a son born in May 2024 — she has not revealed their names nor faces.

The post comes four months after the right-wing political activist was assassinated on September 10 at age 31.
Charlie’s sudden death gained national attention after he was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, as part of his American Comeback Tour. The alleged shooter, Tyler James Robinson, is facing multiple charges, including one count of aggravated murder.
Robinson has not yet entered a plea, according to ABC News.
In December, Erika spoke at a town hall hosted by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and shared a pointed message for parents after her husband was assassinated in broad daylight.

Erika said that parents need to “step up” and take “responsibility” when it comes to paying attention to the type of media their child is consuming.
Instead of allowing children to “go down that rabbit hole” on an electronic device, Erika urged parents to be more present.
She demanded a “call to action,” asking parents: “Do you want your kid to be a thought leader or an assassin?”
“I will never agree with political violence,” she said. “I’m a victim of it. But what I’m trying to say here is that we can blame everyone else. We have to look in the mirror. When you become a father, when you become a mother, how are you raising your kids?”
