We know he is in good hands, and our family is good because God is very good, but we will miss him! We will see him again!\u201d as Phil\u2019s granddaughter Sadie Robertson Huff commemorated his passing on Instagram with a collection of pictures of their well-known family taken over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Willie Robertson and his wife Korie Robertson shared a joint Instagram post that read, \u201cWe celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know so many of you love him and have been impacted by his life,\u201d the couple went on to say, partially adding, \u201cThank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life.\u201d We will soon provide information about a public celebration of his life, but for now, we are holding a private service.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1761866\" data-uid=\"0d954\">\n<div id=\"mgw1761866_0d954\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgheader\">\n<p>The Unashamed with the Robertson Family podcast\u2019s December 6 episode was the first to reveal Phil\u2019s Alzheimer\u2019s diagnosis. Jase disclosed at the time that his father was in the \u201cearly stages\u201d of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>His father\u2019s Alzheimer\u2019s disease \u201caccelerated, and it\u2019s causing problems with his entire body,\u201d he added, adding that he simply isn\u2019t doing well. He\u2019s having a lot of trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Months later, Jase talked more about his dad\u2019s health struggle in an April 2 podcast episode, informing listeners that Phil was \u201cnot good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can to make him comfortable,\u201d he added. That\u2019s what you do, I believe.<\/p>\n<p>A&amp;E\u2019s Duck Dynasty followed the Robertson family as they worked together at their family business, Duck Commander, including Phil and Kay Robertson, their three sons, Jase, Willie, and Jep, as well as a number of their grandchildren and staff.<\/p>\n<p>Despite giving rise to several spinoffs, such as Going Si-Ral, Jep &amp; Jessica: Growing the Dynasty, At Home with the Robertsons, and Duck Family Treasure, the series concluded in 2017 after 11 seasons. In January, A&amp;E declared that Duck Dynasty: The Revival would be the show\u2019s return to the network.<\/p>\n<p>Since the conclusion of the well-liked show, the Robertson family has expanded as many of the younger cast members have begun families of their own.<\/p>\n<p>The hunting company Duck Commander was founded and run by Phil, a native of Louisiana, who began the family business in 1972 with a duck call that is now patented. When Kay became pregnant with their first son at the age of 17, he married her.<\/p>\n<p>A&amp;E is anticipated to debut Duck Dynasty: The Revival this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil Robertson, star of Duck Dynasty, passed away.
