\t\t<\/p>\n Willie Robertson<\/strong><\/a> is addressing father Phil Robertson<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s final words.<\/p>\n The 53-year-old Duck Dynasty<\/em> star spoke out in an interview about losing Phil<\/strong> in May, just a week before Duck Dynasty: The Revival<\/em> premiered.<\/p>\n \u201cPhil<\/strong> had been struggling with Alzheimer\u2019s for a while. It was on our mind for sure, his condition. It\u2019s part of life. Phil<\/strong> had such a strong faith,\u201d Willie <\/strong>recalled to TV Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe told us before, \u2018Do not cry at my funeral. I know where I\u2019m going.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n He added that he was touched about how much Phil<\/strong> meant to people around the world and said that his dad would have been proud of the show.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a life he lived. We heard that from thousands of people, the people he impacted. Phil <\/strong>would have wanted us to do exactly what we\u2019re doing,\u201d Willie<\/strong> continued. <\/p>\n \u201cWhatever is a reflection of that faith, and our show is a reflection of our fatih. Not overtly. We\u2019re not trying to preach to people or convert people, but I think you can see the fruit in the faith of our show and our family and how it sticks together through good times and bad. That\u2019s why we are on this earth. As we move on, I think it\u2019s a reminder to all of us the time will come. I hope I have a funeral like that where people feel that way about me as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Phil<\/strong>\u2019s diagnosis was originally confirmed by his family in December 2024 after news broke that A&E ordered Duck Dynasty: The Revival<\/em>. <\/p>\n Find out more about his passing.
