Christian activist Charlie Kirk’s stadium funeral will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, as federal agents seek clarity in the ongoing investigation.
The service is set to begin at 11 a.m., following early morning doors opening, as shared on the memorial website fightforcharlie.com.
“Charlie Kirk’s life was a testament to faith, courage, and conviction,” the website states.
Kirk was killed during a student debate in Utah, where he had been leading his “Prove Me Wrong” speaking series across campuses, bringing the message of truth to the next generation.
Turning Point USA, which Kirk co-founded in 2012, confirmed arrangements after the return of his body to Arizona on a U.S. government plane last Thursday.
Erika Kirk, his wife, shared her resolve to uphold Kirk’s Christian vision and mission during a Friday night livestream.
Authorities apprehended suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, after a 33-hour search, charging him with aggravated murder and related offenses.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox confirmed that Robinson’s roommate Lance Twiggs, a student at Utah Tech University, is cooperating with the investigation.
Investigators are questioning if Robinson’s relationship or possible outside influences contributed to his actions and are reviewing the involvement of groups potentially linked to the attack.
Bullet casings found at the scene displayed far-left slogans, reflecting a worldview opposed to Biblical and American principles, law enforcement reports.
Governor Cox described the suspect as “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology” and noted his family background as conservative and religious.
Robinson’s upbringing in a Republican household with parents known for their faith and work ethic stands in strong contrast to his recent activities, according to multiple sources.
Neighbors and former classmates described Robinson as quiet and respectful during his youth, while his online immersion has been mentioned as a possible factor by investigators.
Despite misinformation online regarding Robinson’s political affiliations, those familiar with him shared he was not active in his childhood church as he matured.
Stand with the faithful as we remember Charlie Kirk’s devotion to truth and lift up his family and work in prayer, standing firm for faith, family, and freedom in America.
