Phil Robertson, the bearded patriarch of Duck Dynasty, has died at 79 following a tough fight with Alzheimer’s. His family confirmed the news on May 25, calling him their spiritual rock and thanking fans for their prayers.
Known for his bold faith, hunting empire, and reality TV fame, Phil also stirred controversy with outspoken views. Still, he left a lasting legacy in faith and pop culture.
His final words to granddaughter Sadie were: “Full strength ahead!” Now, the family says, he’s fully alive in Christ.
