‘Duck Dynasty’s Sadie Robertson Details Last Moments With Grandfather Phil Robertson
Phil Robertson’s family knew their time with him was coming to a close.
Just before the Duck Dynasty patriarch died at the age of 79, his daughter-in-law Korie Robertson shared Phil’s health had taken a start turn for the worse.
In fact, Korie—married to Phil’s son Willie Robertson—told The New York Post in the days leading up to Phil’s death that his health was “declining really rapidly,” noting it was “so hard to watch” for the family.
“But he’s so loved,” she added. “And all the family is just coming around him and taking really good care of him.”
It was an echo of what Phil’s son Jase Robertson had shared weeks earlier amid his father’s health challenges.
“We’re doing the best we can,” the 55-year-old explained during the April 2 episode of the Unashamed with the Robertson Family podcast. “I think that’s just what you do.”
And on May 25, Korie confirmed on social media Phil was “now with the lord,” five months after the family publicly shared his diagnosis with Alzhemier’s disease.
