The funeral arrangements for the late political activist, Charlie Kirk, have been announced, and Turning Point USA, a company he founded, has decided to honor him with a memorial service. The organization arranged a massive event set to take place on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the State Farm Stadium at 1 Cardinals Drive, Glendale, Arizona.
The company wrote on X:
“Join us in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend. The morning of Sunday, September 21, at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, in Glendale, AZ.”
Charlie Kirk was killed at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, during his first stop on Turning Point’s “American Comeback Tour.” According to reports, the 31-year-old father of two was seated at his famous “prove me wrong” table when he was shot about 20 minutes into the presentation he was giving to the students.
Following the news of his passing, Turning Point USA shared a long and emotional tribute to its founder.
“Charlie Kirk’s life was a testament to faith, courage, and conviction. From his earliest days, he believed America was worth fighting for, and he dedicated every moment of his 31 years to that cause. He lived with eyes fixed on eternity, grounded in the truth of God’s Word, and driven by a calling bigger than himself.”
The statement continued:
“Charlie was a servant of the Lord, a devoted husband to Erika, a loving father to two beautiful children, and a leader of uncommon clarity and strength. He did not seek influence for its own sake. Instead, he poured his life into others, raising up a generation who would be bold in their faith, steadfast in their love of freedom, and unafraid to defend their country.”
Turning Point USA continued saying Charlie’s mission will continue and serve as an inspiration to many.
“Though our hearts are heavy, we do not grieve as those without hope. Charlie’s legacy endures in his family, in Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, and in the millions he inspired to live with conviction. We honor him not only with our words, but with our actions. We will move forward together, fighting harder, standing taller, and refusing to surrender.”
