===Eulogies===
At his funeral services at Passion City Church in Atlanta on May 29, 2020, [[Vice President of the United States|Vice Predent]] [[Mike Pence]] called Zacharias:
<blockquote>
The [[C.S. Lewis]] of our day [who] crisscrossed the globe to every Mars Hill he could find to answer skeptics, move obstacles of unbelief, armed with intellect, girded with truth and love.<br>
He was a man for all seasons.<ref>"A man for all seasons," refers to the 16th century Christian intellectual and writer Sir [[Thomas More]] of [[England]].</ref> … God put him at my side at just the right time. The word of wisdom and kindness and encouragement that I’ll never forget. In the late Reverend [[Billy Graham]], it’s been observed that God gave us the greatest Evangelist of the 20th century. In Ravi Zacharias, God gave us the greatest Christian apologist of this century.<ref name=Christianpost>{{cite web|url=https://www.christianpost.com/news/cs-lewis-of-our-day-tebow-pence-family-pay-respects-to-ravi-zacharias-at-memorial-service.html|title='C.

Lewis of our day’: Tebow, Pence, family pay respects to Ravi Zacharias at memorial service|publisher=''The Christian Post''|author=Michael Gryboski|date=May 29, 2020|accessdate=June 27, 2020}}</ref></blockquote>
Former [[NFL]] player [[Tim Tebow]], a subject of much persecution for his Christian beliefs, at the funeral discussed how the apologist had inspired him as a young man to proclaim the Gospel. "I don’t say that lightly besides talking about my dad I don’t know that I’ve really said that about anybody, that Ravi was a hero to me."<ref name=christianpost/>
