DUCK DYNASTY: PHIL'S SAD LAST DAYS

JUST AS THE ROBERTSON FAMILY RETURNS TO TV, THEIR PATRIARCH PASSES AWAY.

Fading Days "He's not saying very much anymore," Korie said a week before Phil's death. "He doesn't speak a lot."

A day after Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty clan, died at 79 May 25, his son Willie recalled his father's last words to him. Weakened by early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and other health problems, Phil simply told his son, “You're my brother,” the 53-year-old shared on Instagram. “It made total sense to me. He always told me we were coworkers in the Kingdom of God.”
