Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty passes away age 79

[GON]

Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty and duck call entrepreneur passed away at age 79.

Fascinating story of a person living the American dream. Phil was raised in a poverty stricken and abusive home. Went on to be a college football player.

Later copied his upbringing and became a negligent and abusive spouse and father. Found faith, and fortunate enough to live in America where people not only have first chances, but second chances

If you have not seen Phil's biographic movie released two years ago, might be worth a watch. My wife and I enjoyed the movie .

Wasn't Terry Bradshaw his backup at Louisiana Tech? Or was that the other way around?

Phil Robertson was the starting quarterback at Louisiana Tech University in 1966 and 1967, while Terry Bradshaw was his backup. Robertson eventually quit football to pursue hunting and fishing, and Bradshaw went on to a successful NFL career, including four Super Bowl championships.

Great show. A bit of morality, fun and religion all mixed together in a family friendly way.

May God grant him the Kingdom

I always liked hearing what Phil had to say and was impressed by his beard.

Did not hear about this one. I liked the dude, at least what I saw in public.

It is interesting to learn of the Duck Dynasty show process and how it ultimately can to be… From the Duck men movies .. To a short lived show on the Outdoor Channel which caught the eye of someone at A&E.

All of which led to the meteoric rise of the show and the money that followed close behind.


I respect Phil because he never cared about the money aspect.. He didn’t move from his humble house on the River.. He stayed there. That says a lot right there.

Phil thought the show should have been more preachy.. He was wrong about that.. It was perfect the way it ended up being done… Because the belief/ faith aspect came shining through without it being in your face. That alone speaks to people. Way more than in your face stuff does. There’s a guy who was on the Delta Force who recently was on their Unashamed podcast who said has much.

Remember… it’s not what you preach or say… It’s what you do is what defines you.

Phil did what my father never really could do.. Break free from alcohols grip on his life and his way of thinking. For that action and transformation in Phil’s life alone is powerful.

Well done Phil.. A life well lived by the saving grace of God.

I respected him and I love his story. Shows that it is never too late for anyone. Things can turn around if you seek the Lord and he will make a way for you. His family is evidence of his faith that he walked and he will certainly be missed.
