A Georgia restaurant owner is getting a ton of support for his tribute billboard to the late Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, who was 31, was assassinated by Tyler Robinson, 22, during a speaking event in Orem, Utah, on the campus of Utah Valley University on September 10.
Wayne Robinson, president of Wayne Robinson Holdings, owns a Steak 'n Shake location in Rome, Georgia.
The 1950s-inspired chain serves milkshakes and burgers, and the Rome location is one of hundreds across the country.
Robinson told Fox News Digital he was devastated after Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while speaking to audience members at the school.
"I've always been a follower of Charlie," said Robinson, noting he was impressed by Kirk's debates with students on college campuses.
"He was bringing so many of those young people to Christ. … He touched me, and when the assassination happened, it was something that really wore heavy on me."
The day after Kirk died, Robinson was compelled to act quickly. He alerted one of his marketing partners to "put something out there to honor Charlie."
The billboard reads, "Charlie Kirk, 1993-2025." It is followed by the words, "Stand up, speak out, stay bold."
