Tim Allen impressed by Erika Kirk’s forgiveness at husband’s funeral | USAEMALL.com

Tim Allen is speaking out about how Erika Kirk’s memorial speech “deeply affected” him.

On Thursday, Allen took to X to share that he was personally moved by Kirk’s forgiveness of the man who allegedly killed her husband, Charlie Kirk, since forgiveness has not been as easy for him to give.

“When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband — ‘That man … that young man … I forgive him’ — that moment deeply affected me.”

“I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’ Peace be with you all,” Allen wrote.

Allen’s father died in 1964 after a drunk driver’s vehicle collided with his vehicle. Allen was 11 years old at the time of his father’s death.

“I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’ Peace be with you all.”
