Phil Robertson, the iconic patriarch of Duck Dynasty and a bold man of faith, passed away on May 25 at the age of 79. As the family grieves, Willie and Korie Robertson took time to reflect on the legacy of a man whose life was deeply marked by the Gospel.
According to CP, Willie shared that without his father’s unwavering faith, the life they live today—their family, their business, and their public platform—would not exist. Recalling moments when Phil baptized thousands over the years, Willie described his father’s life as a living testimony to the power of the Gospel.
Korie Robertson also pointed to the film The Blind as a powerful tool for sharing Phil’s story—a story of redemption, from addiction and brokenness to faith and transformation. She emphasized that the film has led many viewers to baptism and spiritual renewal, a testament to God's grace working through Phil’s life.
Now, the Robertson family is preparing to return to television with Duck Dynasty: The Revival, airing June 1 on A&E. The new series goes beyond family entertainment, offering a deeper glimpse into how faith, tradition, and legacy are being passed on to the next generation.
Phil’s final words to his granddaughter Sadie were, “Full strength ahead!”—a fitting call to continue the race he ran with purpose. As the family steps into this next chapter, they do so not merely in memory of Phil, but in active pursuit of the mission he lived for: to know Christ and make Him known.
