Erika Kirk<\/strong><\/a> is marking the first Father\u2019s Day since her husband, Charlie Kirk<\/strong><\/a>, was shot and killed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Father\u2019s Day, I still wrote you your letter (I will the rest of my life),\u201d Erika, 37, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 21, alongside a behind-the-scenes video of the late right-wing influencer walking onto the Turning Point USA AmFest 2024 stage, complete with a fog machine and pyrotechnics.<\/p>\n

\u201cGG has it waiting for you by your coffee mug,\u201d the widow continued. \u201cI\u2019ll save them all for our son when he gets older. They miss you. I miss you. I just can\u2019t help but thank you, endlessly today. Thank you for loving us so well. Thank you for making me a wife and a mother. Thank you for our two precious babies that carry pieces of you with them. Thank you for all the times you\u2019ve prayed over our family. Thank you for living your life in such a way to be an incredible example to other Fathers. Thank you for all the sacrifices you\u2019ve made. You will forever be an extraordinary father. Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Turning Point USA<\/a> co-founder and CEO was fatally shot in the neck<\/a> on September 10, 2025, while speaking on the Utah Valley University campus. He was 31. He is survived by Erika and their two children.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tErika Kirk is marking the first Valentine\u2019s Day without her late husband, right-wing conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. \u201cWhat I would give for one more love letter\u2026 They had such a deep reverence about them,\u201d Erika, 37, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 14, alongside a photo of a letter she received from her late husband [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A 22-year-old Utah man<\/a> eventually turned himself into authorities in connection to the shooting. He was later charged with aggravated murder \u2014 among other charges \u2014 after police claimed the alleged shooter targeted Charlie<\/a> for his political beliefs. If convicted, prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty<\/a>. The alleged shooter has not entered a plea.<\/p>\n

Our love was integrated ,and that is how it\u2019ll remain. I love you Charlie baby. Tell God Happy Father\u2019s Day for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
