Charlie Kirk's evangelical faith was on display at his memorial service this weekend in Arizona. The service, held on a Sunday morning, felt much like a worship service, complete with prayers, songs and a call from Kirk's widow to "forgive" Kirk's alleged killer "because it was what Christ did." The event opened with performances of contemporary Christian worship music and Kirk's colleagues and friends referred to him as both a prophet and a martyr.

Between breaks to wipe away tears and long pauses to collect herself, Kirk said she was forgiving the killer because that is what her husband would do, and because it is what their Christian faith calls them to do. That young man, that young man Kirk said at the podium, before quoting from the Bible. On the cross, our savior said, Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.'

Local law enforcement, along with the Secret Service, approached someone they said looked suspicious. And at that time, he told them that he was a member of law enforcement. He was armed. They continued to interview him, determined that he was not a member of law enforcement. He was taken into custody and remains in custody right now, Gray said.

"We have been in pain for the last 11 days, but they will always remain in our memories and remind us from up high to never lose our ability to smile," said Joan Camprubí. "The Pope believed in the transformative power of a 'smile and a sense of humor.'"

He preached love all the time. That's what this life is all about. It's all about love and George was pure because George lived and believed what he preached.
