Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Witnesses Monumental Attendance
A Historic Gathering in Arizona

On Sunday, September 21, nearly 90,000 people gathered at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to honor the life of Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk.
Though the stadium’s official capacity sits at around 70,000, additional seating and standing room expanded the space to accommodate one of the largest memorial services ever held for a private citizen in U.S. history.

Brittany Aldean Reflects on the Experience

Jason Aldean’s wife, Brittany Aldean, took to social media to share how deeply the memorial moved her.


“I expected to go in there and cry hysterically the whole time,” she admitted. Instead, she described leaving inspired to ‘live like Charlie.’

She added that Kirk’s impact extended beyond politics, sparking a revival of faith among many who attended:

“Everyone said at the service: [It’s] a revival. It’s putting so many people in touch with their faith and making a difference in so many lives.”

Leaders and Music Honor His Legacy

The memorial lasted nearly five hours and featured tributes from family, friends, and top political figures, including President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Music played a central role in the celebration. Worship leaders Brandon Lake, Chris Tomlin, and Phil Wickham led songs of reflection, while country icon Lee Greenwood performed his patriotic anthem, “God Bless the U.S.A.” to a stadium-wide singalong.

Erika Kirk’s Powerful Words of Forgiveness

One of the most emotional moments came when Charlie’s widow, Erika, delivered a nearly 30-minute eulogy. Speaking through tears, she shocked many with her message of grace:

“That man, that young man, I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did and it is what Charlie would do.”

Her words drew a standing ovation, reinforcing the message that Kirk’s legacy was not only about activism but also faith, forgiveness, and conviction.

A Legacy That Lives On

Charlie Kirk’s death has left a profound void, but his influence continues to grow. For supporters, the memorial was more than a farewell — it was a call to live with courage and purpose, carrying forward the faith and conviction he represented.
