Robertson Family Honors Patriarch Phil Robertson With Heartfelt Tributes Following His Passing
To his family, Phil Robertson was much more than the daring patriarch of the Duck Dynasty, as he was a man of strong faith, intense love, and a legacy that now inspires millions of others.
From Duck Calls to a Global Faith Movement
The loving patriarch of the Robertson family and the creator of Duck Commander, Phil Robertson, became well-known thanks to A&E’s popular reality show Duck Dynasty. Although the show, which ran from 2012 to 2017, gave viewers an inside look at the family’s duck call company in West Monroe, Louisiana, America was captivated by the heart behind the beards.
The series was based on something far more profound than hunting and humour: a fearless commitment to their Christian faith and a mutual affection for one another.
Following the conclusion of the broadcast, Phil and his family persisted in sharing their message via social media, podcasts, and media appearances. However, Phil left his Unashamed podcast at the end of 2024. His sons, Al and Jase, disclosed in December that Phil had been diagnosed with both a blood disorder and Alzheimer’s disease.
“Preparing for the Journey to the Other Side”
The family gently updated followers about Phil’s deteriorating health as 2025 progressed. It felt like Phil was “getting ready for the journey to the other side,” Al and Jase revealed in an emotional Unashamed episode on May 19.
