Dr. Ben Carson, a former neurosurgeon and former secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development during President Donald Trump's first administration, shared several posts offering prayers for Kirk's family and the reliance on faith in such difficult times. 

Among the messages reposted by Carson was a video shared by Armstrong Williams  of Kirk explaining his Christian apologetic, along with a tribute to the late conservative Christian activist: 

"Charlie Kirk closed his eyes to this earth for the last time … and opened them to eternity for the first. A powerful video where he shares his journey of faith. His life was short, but a life well-lived. Rest in peace, brother. Your wisdom will echo through the lives you’ve touched, and your influence will remain forever irreplaceable."
