Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson died in May 2025, five months after his family revealed some of the health issues he was battling. The most problematic one was Alzheimer’s Disease. Though Phil kept most of the details about his health out of the spotlight, one of his children announced the news in late 2024.
Below, News47.us has all the details about Phil’s health that his family has shared so far.
Phil was 79 years old when he died in May 2025, one month after he celebrated his birthday.
Phil’s cause of death was not immediately disclosed. However, his family had previously revealed that the reality TV star was living with Alzheimer’s Disease five months before he died.
Willie Robertson and his wife, Korie Robertson, shared an Instagram post announcing his late father’s death. They wrote, “We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord. 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.’”
Willie and Korie added, “Thank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life saved by grace, his bold faith, and by his desire to tell everyone who would listen the Good News of Jesus. We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again. We know so many of you love him and have been impacted by his life. We’re having a private service for now, but we’ll share details soon about a public celebration of his life.”
