And that forgiveness has inspired actor Tim Allen to forgive the drunk driver who killed his dad when he was just 11 years old.

He wrote on X

“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.”
