Phil Robertson death: Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson reveals grandpa’s final words, moves netizens

Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson has paid a moving tribute to her grandpa Phil Robertson after his death at 79. The 27-year-old remembered the Duck Dynasty patriarch in an Instagram post, and even revealed what some of his last words to her were. Phil died after a battle with multiple illnesses and Alzheimer’s disease.

Sadie, the daughter of Phil’s son Willie Robertson, shared a carousel of family photos, and started the caption of the post with a verse from2 Corinthians: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

“As I was sitting with Papaw Phil today, I thought about this verse… he has already experienced this on earth—going from dead to alive by the power of Christ!” she wrote. “It was his testimony that changed his life, our families life, and thousands of others. Now he is experiencing it in the fullness. Fully alive in Christ. The new has come.”

Sadie added, “One of the last things he said to me was “full strength ahead!” Amen!”
