We at Bootleg Bakery are deeply saddened by the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, whose life and work stirred the hearts of many in today’s generation.
In this hour of mourning, we hold his family—in particular, his wife Erika and their two young children—in our prayers. May God grant them strength, comfort, and peace that passeth all understanding.
Charlie’s mission to speak truth and engage young people in civic life was rooted in his Christian faith. We honor his courage, his conviction, and his unwillingness to shrink from controversy, always willing to stand in the public square and face challenge head-on.
We stand in solidarity with Turning Point USA and with all those who believe in freedom of speech, fearless discourse, and the power of faith to shape society.
May his legacy inspire more young men and women to lead boldly, to speak clearly, and to remember that faith in Christ is central to pursuing a life of purpose and public service.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
May Charlie rest in the arms of the Savior, and may his legacy continue to bear fruit for generations to come.
