Phil Robertson's Final Message: 'Full Strength Ahead!'

Duck Dynasty Star Phil Robertson's Final Words Revealed: "Do Not Cry at My Funeral"

It's been nearly two months since the passing of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, and his family is still reeling from the loss. But in a recent interview with TV Insider, Willie Robertson opened up about his father's final words, giving fans a glimpse into the beloved star's final moments.

Phil, who was 79 when he passed away on May 20, had been battling Alzheimer's disease for some time before his death. His family has been vocal about their support and love for him throughout this difficult journey, and Willie's interview with TV Insider is no exception.

"We were all there to take care of him," Willie explained, reflecting on the time leading up to Phil's passing. "He was struggling with Alzheimer's, but he always had a sense of humor. Even when he couldn't remember things, he'd still crack jokes."

One of the most poignant moments shared by Willie was about his father's final words. "The last thing he said to me was, 'Do not cry at my funeral,'" Willie revealed. "He told us, 'I know where I'm going.' That was it. It was like he knew exactly what was happening and where he was headed."

This isn't the first time Phil's family has shared a glimpse into his final days. In June, a clip from the new Duck Dynasty: The Revival series featured Phil giving a thumbs up to Willie during filming. However, due to his health condition, Phil wasn't able to participate in the show.

"We were lucky to get that one little moment with him," Korie Robertson shared in an interview with TV Insider. "It was like he was passing on the torch to us."

The Robertson family has been open about their faith and how it has guided them through this difficult time. Willie explained, "Our show is a reflection of our faith, but we're not trying to preach or convert people. We just want to share our story and inspire others to live with purpose."

In a poignant tribute, Sadie Robertson also shared a message on Instagram about her grandfather's final words. "One of the last things he said to me was 'Full Strength Ahead!'" she wrote. "Amen!"

As for Phil's widow, Miss Kay, Willie revealed that she has made an "unbelievable" recovery since his passing. In June, he shared with Fox News Digital that she had been struggling after losing her husband of over 60 years.

"It was like a big hole in our lives," Willie explained. "But now, she's doing much better. She's still grieving, but we're all trying to support each other."

In fact, Miss Kay recently appeared on the Duck Call Room podcast as part of a "proof of life video." Korie shared that she has been participating in filming for their new show and even traveled with Willie.

"We're just grateful to have her back," Willie said. "She's still got a lot of love to give."

The Robertson family is no stranger to the public eye, but they've always maintained a sense of humility and faith throughout their journey. Phil's passing may have left a void in their lives, but his legacy will live on through their story.

As Willie shared with TV Insider, "We're grateful for the time we had with him, and we know he's at peace now."

The Robertson family's faith has been a constant source of strength throughout this difficult journey. As they navigate life without Phil, they continue to inspire fans around the world with their love, support, and commitment to their values.

A Legacy That Lives On

Phil Robertson may be gone, but his impact on the lives of thousands will never be forgotten. His family's story is a testament to the power of faith, love, and perseverance in the face of adversity.

As Willie so aptly put it, "We're not just a family; we're a community. We've been blessed with an incredible following, and we're grateful for their support."

The Robertson family will continue to share their story through their new show, Duck Dynasty: The Revival, which premiered on June 1. But as they move forward without Phil by their side, they'll always carry his memory and legacy with them.

In the words of Phil's son Jase, "You can't take away our memories; you can't take away our experiences; but what we do have is our faith."
