Duck Dynasty: The Revival premiered on A&E on Sunday night. Sadly, this came one week after the death of Phil Robertson, who passed away at the age of 79 on May 25 following a battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
On the premiere episode, Phil’s widow Miss Kay Robertson, who he was married to for nearly sixty years, said a powerful prayer that has quickly gone viral.
Miss Kay’s Powerful Prayer
Kay’s own health is currently declining. This prevented her from appearing in many episodes of Duck Dynasty: The Revival. Thankfully, Kay, 77, was healthy enough to appear in the premiere episode.
“Willie’s mom Miss Kay doesn’t live on our family property right now,” Korie Robertson, the wife of Kay’s son Willie, explained in a confessional. “But, of course, when we have a baby shower or even just family dinner, she is always ready to stop by.”
Indeed, Kay made sure to stop by at the baby shower being held for her granddaughter Rebecca Robertson Loftin’s third baby, Xander, who was born in November. There, she led the family in a powerful prayer.
“Father, we’re so grateful for everything you’ve done for us,” Miss Kay prayed. “Father, thank you for the precious little babies.”
“They are just worth everything,” she continued. “I know they work us to death and sometimes when they keep us up all night we wonder why we have them. But in his name, we pray. Amen.”
This episode was filmed in the fall of 2024, so it was months before Phil’s death. However, knowing that Kay’s husband didn’t have much longer left on Earth at the time, his wife’s prayer is even more powerful.

Phil Passes Away
It was Korie who announced Phil’s death to the world hours after his passing on May 25, 2025.
“We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord,” Korie wrote on Instagram. “He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘you do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.'”
“Thank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life saved by grace, his bold faith, and by his desire to tell everyone who would listen the Good News of Jesus,” she continued. “We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again.”
Just two days before Phil died, Willie confirmed that his father would not be appearing on Duck Dynasty: The Revival.
“He was unable to film,” Willie told Christian Post. “He’s not great. Alzheimer’s is kind of a cruel situation to go through. But there are glimpses we have, some good times and some moments with him, but it certainly has progressed. “
“We feel good about the life he’s lived, and he certainly does as well, and just the impact,” he continued. “Such a powerful voice. He did everything I think God wanted him to do on this Earth and he’ll be ready to move on, for sure.”
Miss Kay’s Declining Health
That same week, Korie made the sad announcement that Kay was only able to appear in a few episodes of Duck Dynasty: The Revival before her health declined.
“She’s actually in quite a few of the early episodes of this season,” Korie told The New York Post of Kay, 77.
“As the season went on, she had some health issues, too. And she’s not been able to be on anymore,” Korie continued. ‘So we’re just thankful that Kay got to be on some of the earlier episodes, and we’re going to really cherish those.”
After Phil’s death, another update about Kay came in. Jay Stone is married to Anna, the daughter of Phil and Kay’s son Alan. While appearing on The Duck Call Room for a memorial episode for Phil, Jay revealed that Kay has been staying with him and his wife. From how he spoke about it, this sounds like a permanent situation.
“She’s doing good,” Jay said of Kay. “She’s surrounded by her family. There’s people in and out constantly. So she’s doing well and she’s eating well.”
