Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson is remembering her grandpa Phil Robertson. The 27-year-old took to social media to share a moving tribute to the TV personality, including his final words before passing away at age 79.
Sadie posted on Instagram alongside family photos over the years: “‘Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.’ – 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV.” She shared how her grandfather had already experienced this verse in his life, having gone from dead to alive through Jesus’ power.
Sadie also revealed one of Phil’s last words to her: “full strength ahead!” The family patriarch founded Duck Commander in 1972 and was the star of the reality show “Duck Dynasty,” which aired from 2012 to 2017. A new revival series is set to air this summer, following Korie and Willie Robertson, along with their adult children and grandchildren.
Phil’s daughter-in-law Korie announced his passing on Instagram, saying he was now with the Lord. She expressed gratitude for fans’ love and prayers and promised a private funeral and public celebration of his life. Sadie remembered Phil for showing them how to live a life sold out on God’s commandments. The family is grateful for Phil’s legacy and looks forward to continuing it until they meet again.
