How Did Phil Robertson Die?
The Robertson family did not confirm Phil’s exact cause of death in their public statements. In May 2025, his son Willie Robertson and daughter-in-law Korie Robertson wrote a joint Instagram post Phil’s death. The couple wrote, “We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord. He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘you do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.’”
In their statement, Willie and Korie added, “Thank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life saved by grace, his bold faith, and by his desire to tell everyone who would listen the Good News of Jesus. We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again. We know so many of you love him and have been impacted by his life. We’re having a private service for now, but we’ll share details soon about a public celebration of his life.”

“He’s just not doing well. He’s really struggling,” Jase said, adding that his father’s Alzheimer’s had “accelerated, and it’s causing problems with his entire body.”
