FINAL SAY

Reality TV Trumper’s Last Words Revealed After Alzheimer’s Battle

Phil Robertson’s son shared the details of his father’s final moments during an interview with TV Insider.

Phil Robertson, who passed away this year after a battle with Alzheimer’s, gave his son a final warning before dying at 79. The Duck Dynasty star’s son, Willie, starred alongside his dad in the A&E reality series from 2012 to 2017 and shared the details of his father’s final moments during an interview with TV Insider. “Phil had such a strong faith,” the star, 53, said. “He told us before, ‘Do not cry at my funeral. I know where I’m going.’” Willie added that his dad had been struggling with Alzheimer’s for a while. Robertson’s passing saddened conservative fans, who tuned into the show’s sequel only days after Robertson’s death on May 20. “What a life he lived,” his son said. The MAGA member was vocally opposed to same sex marriage and anti-abortion. He famously said: ”I got it down to this: if you’re pro-God, and pro-America, and pro-gun and pro-duck hunting, that’s all I want.“ His son said that he will be remembered for his piety. “Phil would have wanted us to do exactly what we’re doing,” he said. “Whatever is a reflection of that faith, and our show is a reflection of our faith.”
