Tens of thousands of mourners gathered at the State Farm Stadium on Sunday to honor Charlie Kirk, a young American with a dream to revive the USA , also a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated earlier this month on 10th of September 2025.

The memorial was one of the largest of its kind in recent U.S. political history; it drew an estimated 90,000 to 100,000 attendees, according to local law enforcement. The 63,400 seat stadium, expandable to more than 70,000 for major events, quickly filled to capacity, with additional crowds gathering outside and online.

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University. His death sparked a wave of grief across the country, with vigils, social media tributes, and prayer gatherings organized in his honor.

On Sunday, the service combined his solemn remembrance with a celebration of his life and his work towards making America great again. All attendees, many dressed in red, white, and blue, waited for hours to pay their respects.

The program featured tributes from Kirk’s family, close friends, and national leaders like the US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Elon Musk among others . Erika Kirk, former Miss Arizona USA, Charlie Kirk’s widow and the new CEO of TPUSA, moved the audience with a message of forgiveness and resilience, receiving a standing ovation.

The event was streamed globally, with more than 100 million online views across platforms. Many of the speakers emphasized Charlie Kirk’s commitment to faith, free speech, and youth engagement, calling his legacy a movement that would continue to grow forever in the history of America.

“Charlie believed in giving young Americans a voice and building a future rooted in freedom,” one speaker said. “That mission is not ending here, it’s only beginning.”

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were among those in attendance, each highlighting Charlie's role as a friend and ally. Both praised his leadership in mobilizing young conservatives across the nation.

Charlie Kirk’s friends recalled his ability to connect with students on campuses nationwide and his openness to dialogue, even with critics. “Charlie’s message was very simple, don’t be afraid to speak the truth,” one of his mentors denoted. “He challenged young people to think for themselves and to stand up for what they believe in.”

The memorial showed the resilience of the movement Charlie Kirk had built over the country. Erika Kirk, his widow and the new CEO of TPUSA said Turning Point USA will continue to advance his vision of youth leadership, civic engagement, and faith-centered activism.

Erika mentioned that Charlie died with incomplete work, but not with unfinished business. While the pain of his loss remains fresh, the gathering demonstrated that Charlie Kirk’s influence stretches far beyond the tragic circumstances of his death.
