Kirk, just 31 years old, was killed on September 10th while speaking at an event in Utah. His death has shocked many and led to renewed focus on his work to engage young people in conservative principles.

Following his death, Turning Point USA has seen a surge in interest, with many students wanting to start new chapters on college campuses. This shows the lasting impact Kirk had and the desire among young people to continue his work.
The memorial service is expected to be a time of sadness, but also a celebration of Kirk’s life and a recommitment to the principles he championed. His legacy will continue to inspire conservatives across the nation.
