Phil Robertson became known as the Duck Dynasty star after the TV series aired from 2012 to 2017. However, Phil Robertson is more known for his religious inclination as a practical Christian who constantly shares insights about his faith with people through books, podcasts, and public appearances. He anchors a podcast, Unashamed with the Robertson Family.

Sadly, being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s means the television star would not effectively function and share his faith with others like he used to do. The family announced his diagnosis in the episode of Unashamed with the Robertson Family podcast held recently. Phil’s son, Jase, shared in detail their father’s condition and how they had been helping him go through it.

“He is struggling,” Jase noted and added that he often experienced pain when walking. Phil Robertson also “misses the stories we tell” on the show as he is “unable to sit down and have a conversation.” The family asked for prayers and support from everyone as they put everything in place to make him comfortable.
