In a poignant account, mentor Frank Turek reveals the last moments of Charlie Kirk, stating that he was embracing Jesus prior to his passing.
In a shocking turn of events, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was pronounced dead at a hospital following a shooting incident at Utah Valley University. The 31-year-old conservative leader was just feet away from Frank Turek, a Christian author and his mentor, when the tragedy unfolded.
Turek, who was with Kirk at the time of the shooting, immediately sprang into action, performing CPR on Kirk as they rushed to the hospital. Despite Turek's efforts, hospital staff described Kirk's injuries as 'catastrophic.' Doctors briefly restored Kirk's pulse, but a surgeon pronounced him dead within half an hour.
Frank Turek, who considered Kirk a son, described him as a fearless, relentlessly Christ-centered leader. In one of his final texts, Kirk sent Turek the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 16:9, a poignant reminder of his unwavering faith.
Erika Kirk, Charlie's wife, was contacted by the Turning Point USA team and flew to the hospital. In a heartbreaking photo, she held up her husband's cross necklace, a symbol of their shared faith and love. The necklace went missing during the rush but was later found draped over Turek's computer bag.
Erika Kirk, surrounded by grief, vowed to continue her husband's legacy. 'Charlie was a beacon of light in a world that often seemed dark,' she said. 'I will do everything in my power to ensure his message lives on.'
