Phil Robertson, best known as one of the main characters from the Duck Dynasty reality show fame, was pronounced dead at the age of 79 on Monday night after an illness-related brief fight.
Phil Robertson had been suffering from some health problems for the last few months. While his passing didn’t surprise the family members or friends, however, it left the people who loved him grieving over the current circumstances. The loss of him is a new chapter that is closed off to Duck Dynasty the family unit, as in hunting, and Christian communities.
Social media platforms and obituaries were flooding in from friends as well as family members and even public figures – even from Duck Dynasty himself! On their official page, they wrote, “We miss you so much”.
Family and Friends Pay Tribute
Phil Robertson was remembered with profound sorrow on social media sites like X (formerly Twitter) by his son, Jase Robertson, who posted a poignant note:
“Sadly, my dad passed away in the afterlife today! Although we’ll miss him greatly, however, we are confident that he’s secure with Him and are hoping that we’ll soon be reunited in Heaven.
Korie Robertson, who is Phil’s daughter-in-law and Korie’s niece-in-law, announced Phil’s death on social media. She also offered advice about his faith:
“Today we celebrate that our father, husband and grandfather is now with the Lord. His words from Paul echoed within his mind and reminded him how important hope can be: you don’t grieve like those without hope”.”
Public figures like Franklin Graham have also paid their respects to Franklin Graham. Franklin Graham also wrote “On our behalf” when making his tribute public.
Join me in praising Miss Kay as well as the entire Phil Robertson family, as Phil was taken to Heaven to be with his Lord and Savior.”
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene went further, mentioning:
“My prayers for Phil Robertson’s family following the news about his passing. Phil shared his spiritual journey in one of my all-time favourite films called “The Blind”.
Phil Robertson made an indelible impression on his family and faith through his solid Christian convictions. He used television to share the gospel of the salvation of Christ for him and many others. Through personal accounts of the ways faith helped to transform his life and inspired many during difficult times to hold on to their faith during the most difficult times in their lives. He enthralled viewers with the example of faith’s ability to help you through difficult times.
Phil, as well as Miss Kay, recently decided to return to their home in spite of the ongoing health issues for both. Jase shared the news on the Unashamed podcast:
My dad isn’t getting well while my mother’s medical issues persist, but they also help by lifting each other up with their positive energy.”
Phil Robertson had an immense legacy that went beyond reality TV shows. He pioneered duck hunting and was the creator of Duck Commander, which is an organization known worldwide for its leadership based on faith and authenticity.
Mossy Oak sums it up the best:
“Phil Robertson was an exceptional individual renowned for his faith, family life, friendships, and duck hunting skills. His dedication and impactful actions changed lives around him – they will certainly be felt every morning at sunrise in the woods where many miss him so dearly.”
Phil Robertson will live on by his legacy, whether it’s family, friends, or faith. His philosophy of simplicity and deeply believing in one’s faith have inspired all of us.
As his family prepares an intimate ceremony to honour his memory and celebrate his extraordinary life, people from all over the world are eager to celebrate the event by joining them.
Rest in peace, Phil Robertson. As you leave this world, the legacy of your faith will be carried on for generations to come.
