Phil Robertson's Mother, Merlie

Merlie (Marie) Robertson, Phil's mother, passed away in 2012 at the age of 85.

Now, let's start with the matriarch of the family, Merlie Robertson. She was the loving mother to Phil and his siblings, and the doting grandmother to the Robertson kids we all came to know and love on the show. Merlie was a woman of strong faith and unwavering resilience, having raised her children in the aftermath of her husband's untimely death.

Despite her passing in 2012, Merlie's spirit and influence remained a constant presence throughout the series. Phil often spoke of her wisdom and the lessons she instilled in him, which he, in turn, passed down to his own family. Her legacy lives on in the love and values shared among the Robertson clan.

Willie Robertson's Father-in-Law, John Schneider

John Schneider, Korie Robertson's father, passed away in 2019 at the age of 78.

Next up, we have John Schneider, the father of Korie Robertson and loving grandfather to her children. John was a beloved figure on the show, known for his quick wit and warm smile. He was a man of many talents, having served as a pilot in the Air Force, a successful businessman, and even a part-time actor.

John's passing in 2019 left a significant void in the Robertson family. Willie Robertson paid tribute to his father-in-law, saying, "He was a great man and a wonderful example to all of us... We are grateful for the time we had with him and the legacy he left behind." John's memory continues to be honored through the love and laughter shared among his family and friends.

Billy Robertson, Phil's younger brother, was another beloved member of the family who left us too soon. Billy was a talented musician and a devoted father to his six children. He struggled with drug addiction for many years, but his family remained steadfast in their support and love for him.

Tragically, Billy passed away in 2014 due to an accidental drug overdose. His passing deeply affected the Robertson family, with Phil stating, "We lost a beloved family member today... Our hearts are broken, but we know that Billy is in a better place." In Billy's memory, the Robertson family has been vocal about their support for addiction recovery and mental health awareness.

The Passing of Si Robertson's Wife, Christine

Christine Robertson, Si's wife of 52 years, passed away in 2021 at the age of 71.

Lastly, we remember Christine Robertson, the loving wife of Uncle Si and mother to their four children. Christine was a woman of great faith and strength, having supported Si through his military service and their many years together.

Christine passed away in 2021 after a battle with cancer. Si paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife, saying, "She was the love of my life, my best friend, and an amazing wife and mother... I will miss her dearly, but I know she is in a better place." The Robertson family has rallied around Si in his time of need, offering their love and support as he navigates life without his beloved wife.
