Jeff Webb, the guy who founded Varsity Spirit and basically built modern cheerleading, passed away at 76 after a bad fall during a pickleball game. He took a nasty hit to the head, ended up in the hospital, and his family made the tough call to pull life support. Varsity Spirit dropped a heartfelt tribute on Instagram back on March 19th, celebrating his huge role in turning cheer into a competitive, powerhouse. Webb mentored a lot of folks in the industry, including Charlie Kirk, who started turning point USA and looked up to him big time. Kirk himself met a tragic end, shot and killed at just 31. That happened on September 10th, 2025, right at the kickoff of his American comeback tour, adding another layer to Webb's influential circle. Webb's story reminds us how one person's drive can shape entire worlds, from cheer squats
