On Sunday, May 25, Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson died at the age of 79.
At the end of last year, the Robertsons shared that Phil had been diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and what doctors believe to be a blood disorder. Recently, in April, brothers Al and Jase Robertson reported that their father’s health was not good.
Korie Robertson, wife of Phil’s son Willie Robertson shared the news on Instagram on behalf of the entire Robertson family.
“We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord,” she wrote.
Korie continued, “He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘You do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.’”

“Thank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life saved by grace, his bold faith, and by his desire to tell everyone who would listen the Good News of Jesus,” she added. “We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again.”
Concluding her message, Korie said, “We know so many of you love him and have been impacted by his life. We’re having a private service for now, but we’ll share details soon about a public celebration of his life.”
Willie and Korie’s daughter, Sadie Robertson Huff, shared one of the last things her grandfather told her before he died.
