The Republican Party of Santa Fe County joins millions of Americans in remembering a great Patriot, Charlie Kirk.  

On September 21, 2025, the memorial service for American political activist Charlie Kirk was held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, United States, following his assassination on September 10. The service was attended by over 90,000 people. Overflow of the stadium led to memorial planners sending attendees to Desert Diamond Arena one block north, which has a capacity of 20,000.

​

On September 10, 2025, Kirk was assassinated while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah. The outdoor event was the first stop of the season for the American Comeback Tour, a speaking and debate series planned by Turning Point USA, a conservative organization he co-founded. On September 11, Kirk's casket, accompanied by U.S. vice president JD Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance, and Kirk's widow Erika Kirk, was transported on Air Force Two from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Phoenix, Arizona.
