Kirk was assassinated during an event he held on the campus of Utah Valley University. He was 31. His death shook the sports world as South Carolina was far from the only team to hold a moment of silence for Kirk.
The NFL honored Kirk before the game on Thursday night between the Green Bay Packers and Washington Commanders. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen wrote Kirk’s name on his baseball cap and NASCAR star Christopher Bell dedicated his victory at Bristol Motor Speedway.

"He inspired us to not be afraid to use our voice; to not be afraid to speak our minds," South Carolina’s Turning Point USA Chapter president Mia Weathers told Count on 2 News.

Kirk was struck by a single bullet around 12:20 p.m. local time on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem on Wednesday. He was surrounded by mostly college students as his event was getting underway.
