“Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson is dead … according to his daughter-in-law.
Korie Robertson — Phil’s son Willie’s wife of more than 30 years — posted the news to Facebook Sunday … saying Phil was a man of God, who always tried to remind people that death only meant returning to God’s kingdom.
She thanked fans for their thoughtful prayers … and, she promises the family will continue to honor him and his legacy.
His family revealed he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder often requiring long-term care and memory-loss treatment, back in December in an episode of the “Unashamed with The Robertson Family” podcast. Early signs often lead families to seek neurological lab testing or health insurance plans with long-term care coverage, particularly in Tier 1 healthcare systems like those in the U.S. and U.K.
Jase Robertson previously said Phil was also suffering from a blood disease, which was causing health issues — and the disease was only getting worse.
