The tragic news was confirmed Sunday by his son, Willie Robertson, and other family members.
“We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord,” an Instagram post read. “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.’”
