Memorial for Charlie Kirk held at Boundary County Fairgrounds

On Sunday, Sept. 14, Bonners Ferry held an emotional remembrance for the life of Charlie Kirk.  

Several hundred Boundary County residents attended the memorial at the Boundary County fairgrounds, peacefully commemorating Charlie Kirk, a man who believed in free speech and a better life for Americans. He was killed on Sept. 10 and is survived by his wife and two children.  

Going well into the night with a powerful vigil, there were several speakers at the event. Travis Stolley, Boundary County’s Sheriff, posted on Facebook that “our community came together for a peaceful memorial honoring Charlie Kirk. It was a heartfelt gathering filled with respect and had great representation from local youth.” 

The memorial at Bonners Ferry was one of several in North Idaho and joined a massive number of people across the world that have honored Kirk’s life. A walk also was held in Sandpoint, consisting of around sixty people.  

Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder in connection to Kirk’s death. Officials have said they plan to seek the death penalty.
