In a profoundly moving disclosure, Kay Robertson, the revered matriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, has lovingly opened up about the recent passing of her beloved husband, Phil Robertson. In her first public statements since his death, Miss Kay offered tender and deeply personal insights into Phil’s last moments, touching the hearts of fans worldwide.
“He was at peace, and he was ready. But I wasn’t,” Miss Kay quietly shared, her voice filled with emotion. “Letting go was the hardest thing.”
Miss Kay revealed that Phil spent his final days at their home in West Monroe, Louisiana, enveloped by the family he cherished. Their home, she described, was a sanctuary of prayer, music, laughter, and the quiet strength of a man whose life was a testament to his convictions and faith. Despite a gradual decline in his health, Phil’s mind remained sharp, and his unwavering faith never faltered.
“He held my hand that last night,” she recounted. “He looked at me and said, ‘Kay, I’ll see you again – just not tomorrow.'”
In his final hours, Miss Kay recalled Phil requesting his Bible, a cup of black coffee, and a reading from his favorite scripture, Romans 8. As Jase, Al, Willie, and the rest of the family gathered, Phil whispered blessings over each of them, expressing gratitude for their love, loyalty, and their shared walk with Christ.
“He didn’t shed a tear,” Kay said, “but I couldn’t stop. It was agonizing to watch the love of my life depart this world.”
Their marriage spanned over five decades, a love story defined by redemption, grace, and an unshakeable faith. From Phil’s challenging early years to the extraordinary rise of Duck Dynasty, Miss Kay stood steadfastly by his side through every chapter.
“We faced our share of storms,” she admitted, “but we always found our way back to God, and back to each other.”
Her decision to speak now, she explained, was to offer fans a more complete picture – not just of Phil’s passing, but of the eternal hope that sustained him.
“He wasn’t afraid of dying,” Miss Kay affirmed. “He knew where he was going. And now, I have a profound peace knowing where he is.”
Since her words were shared, an outpouring of love and support has flooded in from across the globe. Fans have taken to social media to express their condolences, gratitude, and cherished memories, with many describing Phil’s passing as the loss of not just a man, but a spiritual father figure to many.
While the pain of goodbye undoubtedly lingers, Miss Kay remains firmly rooted in the faith that illuminated their life together.
“I miss him every single second,” she said, “but I know I’ll see him again. And when I do, I’ll tell him everything that happened while he was gone.”
