BREAKING: Jase & Al Open Up About Phil Robertson’s Death and Private Funeral for the First Time — “We’ve Never Said This Before.”
Jase and Al Robertson, sons of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, have spoken publicly for the first time since their father’s recent passing—offering an emotional, honest, and deeply moving look into Phil’s final moments and the private funeral service held quietly by the family in West Monroe, Louisiana.
The Robertson brothers shared their reflections in a newly released interview, revealing previously unspoken details that have left longtime fans heartbroken—and more connected to the family than ever before.
“We’ve never said this before,” Al began, his voice heavy with emotion. “But watching our dad take his last breath… it changed everything.”
According to the family, Phil passed peacefully at home, surrounded by Miss Kay, his children, and grandchildren. Though he had battled age-related health complications in recent years, his passing came suddenly—but with a deep sense of spiritual peace.
“He was ready,” Jase said quietly. “He wasn’t afraid. He had been talking about heaven more than usual… and we all knew. He was preparing.”
The funeral was kept intensely private, per Phil’s wishes. No cameras, no media. Just the family, close friends, and a few hand-picked scriptures and songs.
“He wanted it simple,” Al explained. “A pine casket, an old gospel hymn, and the Word. And that’s exactly what we gave him.”
The service was held beneath the trees on the Robertson family property—where Phil had built not only a home, but a life centered on faith, forgiveness, and family. Jase described laying one of Phil’s original duck calls inside the casket, alongside his well-worn Bible.
“That duck call was the start of everything,” Jase said. “And the Bible… that’s what saved him. We thought it was right that both go with him.”
Phil’s passing has sparked an outpouring of love and condolences from fans across the globe. But for Jase and Al, the real comfort has come from the quiet, deeply personal memories of a father who overcame incredible darkness to become a man of wisdom, strength, and faith.
“He wasn’t perfect,” Al admitted. “But he was transformed. And what he left us with wasn’t just a legacy—it was a mission.”
The Robertson family is asking for continued prayers as they grieve—and celebrating the life of a man who lived and died on his own terms, always with eternity in mind.
“We know where he is,” Jase said. “And we’ll see him again.”
