Phil Robertson, the beloved patriarch of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty,” has passed away at the age of 79, as announced by his family. His daughter-in-law, Korie Robertson, expressed the family’s sorrow and faith in a Facebook post, stating that he is now with the Lord. Robertson had been battling Alzheimer’s disease, a struggle disclosed by the family in December. Korie also expressed gratitude for the support and prayers from those whose lives he touched.
While the family plans a private funeral service, they will host a public celebration of his life at a later date. Robertson was best known as the founder of Duck Commander, a company that produced duck calls in West Monroe, Louisiana. His work extended beyond the business into television, where he starred in and produced a variety of shows that highlighted country living and family life, including “In the Woods with Phil” and “Duck Commander.”
With “Duck Dynasty” becoming a cultural phenomenon, Robertson and his colorful family became household names, sharing their unique lifestyle and values with audiences. His legacy will likely continue through the impact he made on fans and the industry alike. The family’s announcement not only marks the loss of a charismatic figure but also an appreciation for the community that has supported them throughout his life and battle with illness.
