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

Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has died. He was 79.

The reality star’s daughter-in-law Korie Robertson — who is married to Willie Robertson — shared the news in a Facebook post on Sunday, May 25, months after his family revealed in December that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

“We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord,” Korie began.

“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 continued, in part.

Added Korie: “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.”
