In Memory of Charlie Kirk: A Tribute from Mark Milburn and the Franchise Marketing Solutions Team

It is with deep sorrow yet heartfelt gratitude that we honor Charlie Kirk, a man whose unwavering faith, courage, and commitment to biblical principles inspired millions. Charlie dedicated his life to standing for truth, freedom, and values rooted in God’s Word, encouraging young people to live with integrity, purpose, and conviction.

The memorial service celebrating his life was truly moving — nearly 100,000 people gathered, including some of the brightest and most influential leaders on the planet. Many described it as a revival of hope and inspiration, filled with prayer, scripture, and heartfelt testimony. It was a profound reminder of the lives Charlie touched and the enduring legacy of his faith-driven mission.

Beyond his public work, Charlie was a devoted husband to Erika Kirk and a loving father to their two children. Our prayers are with his family as they navigate this loss, and we honor the love, guidance, and faith he shared with them.

Charlie’s work with Turning Point USA (LinkedIn) reflected his biblical and moral convictions, empowering young people to pursue truth, engage in leadership, and make a positive impact on their communities. His dedication to mentoring the next generation exemplified stewardship, servant leadership, and the call to lead with both courage and compassion.

At Franchise Marketing Solutions, our entire team — from leadership to every member who contributes daily — shares in this tribute. We are united in our admiration for Charlie’s life and mission, and inspired by his example to live and lead with integrity, faith, and purpose in both our personal and professional endeavors.

We encourage everyone to learn more about Turning Point USA and get involved, supporting a platform that continues Charlie’s vision of empowering young leaders and promoting principled civic engagement.

We extend our deepest condolences to Erika, their children, and all whose lives were touched by Charlie’s faith, vision, and tireless dedication. May God’s Word continue to guide and inspire future generations in the path that Charlie illuminated.

In honor and remembrance,

Mark Milburn and the Franchise Marketing Solutions Team
