Turning Point USA confirmed a public memorial for its late founder, Charlie Kirk, to be held next weekend at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Doors open at 8:00 a.m., and the program begins at 11:00 a.m. The stadium, known for hosting major events, is expected to welcome a large crowd.
Charlie Kirk, who passed away at 31, founded the conservative grassroots organization in 2012. What started in a garage in Lemont, Illinois, quickly grew into a nationwide movement reaching millions.
Honoring a Life of Faith and Leadership
A tribute on the memorial website, fightforcharlie.com, described Charlie as a man of faith, conviction, and leadership. It highlighted his dedication to God, family, and country. “Charlie died doing what he loved: fighting for truth, for faith, for family, and for America,” the tribute read.
The site also praised his role as a mentor, noting his commitment to guiding others and inspiring the next generation. It concluded with a reference to Matthew 25:23, calling him a “good and faithful servant.”
