Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has died. He was 79.
The reality star’s family shared the news through various social media posts on Sunday, May 25, months after they revealed in December that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Phil’s son, Jase Robertson, posted a tribute on X, writing, “My dad has gone to be with the Lord today! He will be missed but we know he is in good hands, and our family is good because God is very good! We will see him again!” as Sadie Robertson Huff, Phil’s granddaughter, marked his death with an Instagram post featuring a series of photos of their famous family throughout the years.
In their own joint Instagram post, son Willie Robertson and his wife Korie Robertson wrote, “We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord.”
“Thank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life,” the pair continued, in part, adding, “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.”
Phil’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis was first made public on the Dec. 6 episode of the Unashamed with the Robertson Family podcast. At the time, Jase revealed that his dad was in the “early stages” of the illness.
