Dear Mrs. Kirk and Family,
On behalf of the Newport Beach City Council and our entire community, I extend our
deepest condolences on the heartbreaking and untimely loss of your beloved Charlie. At our
most recent council meeting, we adjourned in his memory, pausing to honor his life, his
work, and the legacy he leaves behind.
Charlie's passing was not only a shocking tragedy, but also a painful reminder of how fragile
life can be. His life was taken far too soon, and yet in his years of service, he accomplished
so much. Through his leadership and voice, he inspired people across the country to be
engaged, to care deeply about the future, and to stand firmly in their beliefs. That kind of
influence is rare, and it is something that will endure long after his passing.
Beyond his public work, I know that Charlie was first and foremost a husband and father.
His greatest pride was in his family, and it is clear that the love he shared with you remains
the truest reflection of who he was. While the weight of this loss is immeasurable, I hope
you may find comfort in knowing that Charlie's devotion to you and his commitment to his
values are remembered and honored by many.
In Newport Beach, we join countless others in mourning his loss. Please know that our
thoughts and prayers are with you, and that our city stands with you in grief and in respect.
Though words cannot ease the pain of such a sudden loss, may the memory of Charlie's
courage, passion, and faith bring you strength in the days ahead.
With deepest sympathy,
Joe Stapleton
Mayor
