David Santrella: Charlie Kirk: 1993-2025

Thursday, September 11, 2025

It is with profound sorrow that we mourn the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk following the horrific assassination attack at Utah Valley University. It was a cowardly and vile act of violence, carried out to silence one of America’s boldest Christian conservative voices.

Our hearts are shattered for Charlie’s wife, family, friends, colleagues and the countless people whose lives he touched through his words, his work, and his unwavering commitment to faith and country.

Charlie was more than a broadcaster—he was a fearless defender of truth and a faithful servant of God. His assassination was not just an attack on Charlie, it was an attack on free speech and on the values Charlie championed every day.

Salem Media extends its most heartfelt condolences to the Kirk family, Charlie’s friends, and the millions of Americans and people across the world who are grieving this senseless loss.
