Statement on Charlie Kirk’s Passing
by First Liberty Institute President and CEO Kelly Shackelford
Plano, TX—Kelly Shackelford, President and CEO of First Liberty Institute, and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk, issued this statement today on the tragic killing of Charlie:
“I will greatly miss my friend and my brother in the Lord. He was a dear friend, a hero and a legend for our nation already by age 31. He was a champion for liberty, including our first freedom—religious liberty. What he did in 31 years of life is amazing, maybe unequaled. For those with political differences who live in hate and think their evil violence advances their cause, 100 more will rise up in Charlie’s place, and his mission and legacy will only grow. We are praying for his wife, Erika, and his entire family in the midst of this tragedy.”
