GLENDALE, ARIZONA: At Sunday’s memorial for Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA Senior Advancement Director Stacy Sheridan reflected on how the late conservative activist shaped her life.

She remembered him not just as a leader but as a friend whose quiet actions helped her family survive some of their darkest moments.

She recalled Kirk sending critical medications and oxygen for her husband, who was suffering from cancer and later died. “My husband Mike became sick with cancer…that cancer took his life,” Sheridan said in her emotional speech. 

She added, “At one point, Kirk had critical medication and an oxygen machine sent to my doorstep without my knowledge. I still to this day have no idea how he made that happen."

Sheridan said, "But that was Charlie. He did the right thing. There was no limit to how far he'd go to help a friend. He wasn't looking for publicity or credit, and he did it because that's what a leader does. That's what a friend does, and that's what a Christian is supposed to do."

“When Mike ultimately passed away, Charlie and the entire team were there for us yet again,” Sheridan continued. “They held my daughter Grace through the unbearable tragedy of losing her father on her ninth birthday. But Charlie's help didn't stop there. This January, I lost my home in the Pacific Palisades fire.”

Kirk urged Sheridan to move to Arizona after the devastating Palisades house fire.

“Charlie's response was very clear and very direct: This is a sign you and Grace belong in Arizona,” Sheridan recalled. “Within a few months, we moved here and Charlie and Erika welcomed us into their family."

She added that in Arizona, “We're going to make TPUSA so big it will reach heaven.”
