A memorial service has been scheduled for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed at a political event at a Utah university Wednesday afternoon.
Kirk’s non-profit organization, Turning Point USA, announced Saturday that a memorial for its founder is set to take place the morning of Sunday, Sept. 21, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Doors are set to open to attendees at 8 a.m., with the program beginning at 11 a.m.
Anyone who wants to attend can reserve up to two free tickets to the event online. Ticket reservations are first come, first serve.
“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,” Turning Point USA wrote in an online tribute to Kirk.
Kirk was a conservative political provocateur with close ties to President Donald Trump. He died Sept. 10 after being shot once while answering audience questions at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem.
The shooter initially escaped capture by police, leading to a massive manhunt involving local, state and federal law enforcement. But on Friday morning, authorities announced the arrest of 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson in connection with Kirk’s death.
“Charlie died doing what he loved: fighting for truth, for faith, for family, and for America. His sacrifice will endure as a guiding light for generations,” the tribute reads.
