Phil Robertson has died at age 79.
Phil Robertson’s wife, Kay Robertson, posted a loving tribute to him just over two months before he died.
“Phil takes care of me, and I take care of him. Sometimes he fixes a little makeup smudge for me, and I comb the chicken biscuit crumbs out of his beard. I’m getting over being sick, and I can’t wait to get back to taking care of my pioneer man,” she wrote on March 22 on her Instagram page.
“I love Phil, and I really want y’all to know that the hard years were worth it to get to where we are today. Our early years were messy, and I never dreamed our family would turn that story into a movie,” she added. She then urged people to watch The Blind movie, saying, “But the Lord really does turn messes into messages, and The Blind movie is proof of that. If the story of Phil’s wild, godless years can help point people to Jesus, that’s the story we’ll keep telling.”
Phil Robertson’s son and daughter-in-law confirmed in social media posts on May 25 that the Duck Dynasty patriarch has died.
Robertson’s cause of death was not given, but he was dealing with a well-known Alzheimer’s diagnosis as well as other health issues.
According to Shreveport Times, Phil Robertson’s “early adult life and marriage to Kay Robertson were depicted in the movie,” The Blind.
In April, the couple’s son Jase Robertson revealed on a podcast that his dad’s Alzheimer’s disease was worsening, and that his mom, 77, was also struggling with health issues.
He revealed that his mother “recently spent 11 days in the hospital after a fall in which she suffered a cut became infected,” according to Shreveport Times.
In 2024, Robertson wrote on Instagram, “Miss Kay, you were the perfect girl for me back when we were teenagers, and you still are. There was a time when I was a low-down, out-of-control drunk. But there you were, cleaning up my messes and believing with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength that Jesus would be there to wash away my sins. I repented and came to know Jesus as Lord. And you forgave like he did.”
