ORMOND BEACH, Fla. – The Ormond Beach community came together Friday night to mourn the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, drawing a couple hundred people carrying American flags and homemade signs.

The event, organized by local residents, was described as both emotional and healing for those who attended.

“I was really not expecting this much traction, but I am so proud of our community and proud of everybody that came together for this,” the organizer said.

Many in attendance described Kirk as a husband, father and Christian who had a lasting impact on their lives, even if they didn’t always agree with his views.

“I’ve been watching Charlie Kirk since 2020,” one attendee said. “He was a good man, a good father, a good husband, a good Christian.”
