‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Phil Robertson Dead at 79: ‘Legacy of Love for God’

“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has died at the age of 79, his family announced on Sunday.

Robertson, famous for founding the Duck Commander hunting company that became the focus of his A&E show, had previously battled multiple health conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease.

The TV personality’s daughter-in-law Korie Robertson announced his death on Instagram Sunday night.

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

“He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘you do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him,” the post continued.

Korie Robertson added that the family will have a private service but will share details “about a public celebration of his life.” (Read more from “‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Phil Robertson Dead at 79: ‘Legacy of Love for God’” HERE)
