Duck Dynasty Star Phil Robertson Dies at 79 Following Alzheimer's Diagnosis

Source: People

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."

Well, at least for me. Too many in my family and neighbors. Not MAGA though, to my knowledge.

Let's not forget he said African-Americans were happier in those times. He also compared being gay with bestiality and promiscuity. So let me tune up my tiny violin.

Now he can argue with Satan comparing a woman's vagina with a man's asshole. I kid you not, he brought that topic up in an interview once.
