The Boonies Skateboards head honcho Tim Pool is mourning the heartbreaking loss of his friend Charlie Kirk, who tragically died after being shot.
Just recently, Pool had asked his audience to pray after Kirk was struck in the neck. Sadly, the news broke that Kirk did not survive.
Pool shared just how much Kirk meant to him. He wrote:
"Yesterday a demon killed a good man. It was done in a way to force us all to see. Charlie was my friend and a hero to so many. He inspired me and many others to be better, to work harder. This act of evil will not stand."
This wasn’t just about losing someone who had a big public presence. This was personal for him. He said that Kirk wasn’t simply a colleague or a name on the news, but a genuine friend who had influenced his life in meaningful ways. Pool’s words showed both grief and anger, with a promise that Kirk’s legacy won’t be forgotten.
Many who followed Kirk and his work have echoed those same feelings.
His name often came up in conversations about motivation, leadership, and conviction.
Friends and supporters are sharing their own stories of how he encouraged them, inspired them to keep going, and to stand by their beliefs even when times were tough.
