The Robertson family, known for their hit reality show, recently faced a significant loss. Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the family, passed away at the age of 79. His health had been declining rapidly due to multiple conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease. This was a tough time for the family, especially for Korie Robertson, who is married to Phil’s son, Willie. She shared that watching Phil’s health deteriorate was incredibly difficult.
