Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, will be honored in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Thursday, Sept. 11, as his loved ones gather to mourn his sudden and tragic death.
“The second family will be flying to Salt Lake City, Utah, to visit Charlie Kirk’s family and a number of close friends on Thursday, Sept. 11,” a source familiar told Fox News Digital.
Kirk was fatally shot Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University, a shocking act of violence that has stunned the conservative movement and left a deep void among his friends, followers, and political allies.
“Kirk’s casket will be flown back on Air Force Two to Phoenix, Arizona, likely on Thursday night, along with his family and friends,” the source confirmed.
Turning Point USA, which Kirk founded at just 18, is headquartered in Phoenix, where friends and supporters gathered Wednesday night for a vigil outside the organization’s offices.
Among the most personal tributes came from Vice President JD Vance, who posted a lengthy and emotional remembrance on X, describing Kirk as a man of “courage, faith and profound loyalty.”
