Tim Allen says Charlie Kirk’s widow’s speech inspired him to forgive driver who killed his dad
Tim Allen forgives father’s killer after hearing Erika Kirk speech
- Actor Tim Allen has announced that he has forgiven the man responsible for his father's death over 60 years ago.
- Allen's father, Gerald Dick, died in a car crash caused by a drunk driver in 1964 when Allen was 11 years old.
- “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,’” Allen wrote on X.
- He said his decision was inspired by Erika Kirk, who publicly forgave the man accused of assassinating her husband, conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
- Kirk was assassinated on 10 September at Utah Valley University; 22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been charged with his murder.
