Turning Point USA (TPUSA) posted a tribute of “31 Ways to Live Like Charlie Kirk” on Tuesday to honor the organization’s former CEO on his birthday.
“In honor of Charlie Kirk’s 31 years on Earth, here are 31 ways to live like him,” the organization posted about Kirk, who is being posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on Tuesday.
Some of the ways Kirk lived that the organization promoted are “honor the Sabbath,” “journal every day,” “get married” and “read your Bible every day.”
Kirk, a devout Christian, was open about his religious convictions, advocating for abstinence and defending traditional marriage.
Other items on the list included “Never surrender,” “be bold and courageous” and “stand up for your beliefs.” Kirk was known for traveling to college campuses and engaging liberals in spirited debates.

The organization also encouraged people to “pick up the mic” and “have conversations with people you disagree with.”
Kirk was killed while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.
Since Kirk’s murder, there have been several instances of educators and administrators celebrating or making insensitive comments about his death, prompting backlash.
Kirk built a following over the past five years touring the country to debate college students on culture war issues such as gender ideology, racial division, and the merits of Christian and American values in general.
Kirk would have turned 32 on Tuesday. He left a wife, Erika, and two young children.

There have also been several efforts to immortalize Kirk, including a Michigan County commission voting to erect a statue of the conservative firebrand. Oklahoma officials reportedly want to enshrine Kirk’s legacy into public higher-education spaces within the state. A highway in Clermont, Florida, has been named after Kirk to memorialize him.
