After her husband, Charlie Kirk, was murdered at the age of 31, Erika Lane Frantzve, who is married to the famous US activist, put something on social media that people are now looking at in a different manner.
Frantzve and the two young children she had with Kirk were at the Utah Valley University debate on September 10, when Kirk was shot and killed by a single bullet fired from a nearby rooftop.
Kirk was at the debate with the group Turning Point, which he helped founded when he was only 18 years old. Kirk became a controversial figure because he argued with students on things like transgender identity, climate change, and family values. The group intended to spread conservative ideals to US college campuses that are normally liberal.
Kirk was shot when he was standing under a white tent and talking into a microphone in front of a throng.
Donald Trump, who was a close friend of Kirk’s, later confirmed the news of his death on Truth Social, calling him “legendary.”
People are paying more attention to some of the last things Kirk and his family did before the shooting. People on social media couldn’t help but notice that Frantzve had shared a Bible verse before the assassination that became much more meaningful after it happened.
At 12:45 p.m., she wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Psalm 46:1—God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
It was evident that Kirk had died within a few hours.
A number of individuals on social media have since extended their condolences to Frantzve. Someone wrote, “Jesus is holding you close.” We are quite sad.
Someone else added, “The fact that you posted this before the event is a sign from God.”
This was shared by Erika Lane Frantzve just a few hours before her husband died (X/@MrsErikaKirk).
Someone another said, “Your husband is with Jesus.” He was a hero and someone to look up to. I realize this isn’t easy for you or your infants right now, but you will see him again. I’m very sorry that you’re going through this. “There’s a lot of bad stuff going on in this country.”
Frantzve, who was Miss Arizona USA in 2012, married Kirk in 2021. Three years before, they had met.
Frantzve wrote on Instagram in 2022 that her husband was the one for her: “God knew all along it was you.” Charles James, you are my present and all of my future. How lucky I am to be your wife and how blessed I am to have you as my husband. I hope our marriage continues to honor God. “I love you forever.”
After they got married, Frantzve and Kirk had a daughter in August 2022 and a son in May 2024.
