On September 10th, 2025, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on the campus of
Utah Valley University during a public event. It is with the deepest sorrow that we mourn the
passing of Charlie Kirk, an unwavering advocate for the values we hold dear. His life was
devoted to strengthening the spirit of conservatism among young people across this nation, and
his absence leaves a void that cannot easily be filled. Charlie was targeted for how articulately he
expressed his First Amendment right, even in the face of those who hurled defamatory comments
about his character. Charlie was a deeply principled man, and his character was beyond reproach.
He was an extension of Christ’s divine wisdom here on Earth. We were blessed to have such an
electrically brilliant man in this world and in this country—which he loved so earnestly.

I, and so many others, were inspired by him. The amount of profound grief I have observed
among conservative college students has helped grasp the gravity of the killing of someone who
epitomized conservative life: a Christian, a husband, a father, a leader. Farewell, brave and loyal
servant of God. You were the best of us, and you are now prepared and ready to receive God’s
highest reward.

In this world, loss comes to all; yet, when it comes so suddenly, it strikes with a bitter force that
words can scarcely soften. Still, we take solace in the knowledge that his work inspired countless
students to stand firm in their convictions, and that his voice will be more powerful than ever
before and will continue to resonate through the movement he helped build. NHFCR participates
in public debates across New Hampshire campuses, echoing Charlie Kirk’s legacy—and we will
continue to stand up and fight.

To his family and loved ones, we extend our heartfelt prayers and deepest condolences. May
time grant them peace and may the memory of Charlie’s leadership and friendship become not a
source of agony, but a lasting comfort and pride.

With respect and sympathy,
NHFCR Chairman Ethan Dupuis
