“The big, and even legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the hearts of young people in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by all, especially me, and now he is no longer with us. Melania and my sympathies go to his beautiful wife Erika, and to his family. Charlie, we love you!” Trump wrote.
Many important personalities in the world of sport have also reacted to the new tragic Kirk, including the old quarters of the NFL Tim Tebow and Brett Favre.
“I am shocked and devastated to learn the death of Charlie Kirk,” wrote Tebow on X. “Above all, Charlie was a follower of Jesus, a husband and a Father. He was a man of passion, courage, and devoted his life to an eternal impact.”

Favre added: “I’m short of words. The only thing I can think is tragic. Please keep Charlie Kirk and his family in your prayers.”
Many others, like the former recipient of the Patriots of England, Jullian Edelman and the champion of the World Series Mark Teixeira, who recently revealed that he would present himself at the Congress, shared their thoughts and their prayers.
