Tens of thousands packed into the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday to pay their respects to the late conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, whose legacy was marked by his outspoken Christian faith and promotion of the Gospel.

Speakers eulogizing Kirk's life included political leaders such as President Donald Trump, White House cabinet officials, Turning Point USA and TPUSA Faith employees and conservative media influencers, as well as musical performances by prominent Christian artists.

Kirk's murder on Sept. 10 at the hands of an alleged 22-year-old shooter at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, has prompted an outpouring of grief worldwide, and many who knew Kirk have emphasized that his faith was what was most important to him.
