At Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a deeply personal tribute, recalling initial skepticism about Kirk’s hopes for campus activism and praising how Kirk’s work sparked a national renaissance in conservative and Christian values among youth. Rubio emphasized Kirk’s wisdom and knowledge, his boldness in reaching out to opponents, and the movement he led to affirm America’s greatness, the value of marriage and family, and the importance of open, civil debate. Rubio called on mourners to honor Kirk’s legacy by building strong families, loving the country, and upholding the belief that every individual is created with purpose by God. He closed by affirming Kirk’s faith and promising a future heavenly reunion: “Because he carried that cross, we were freed … we’re going to have a great reunion with Charlie and all the people we love.”
