In a heartfelt update shared earlier today, Jep Robertson — son of Phil and Miss Kay Robertson — offered fans new information on the health of beloved Duck Dynasty star Uncle Si Robertson. The message, while honest and concerning, also carried a tone of hope, humor, and strength — all qualities fans have come to associate with the ever-colorful Uncle Si.
“Uncle Si’s been having a few setbacks,” Jep revealed. “But he’s still being Si — stubborn, hilarious, and full of more stories than any of us can keep up with.”
The 76-year-old Vietnam veteran and fan favorite has openly faced ongoing health challenges in recent years, including breathing issues and complications that required hospital visits. This latest update confirms that he’s continuing to rest and recover, though the family remains cautious and asks for continued prayers.
“He’s tired,” Jep said, “but his spirit is strong. He was cracking jokes with the nurses even on his toughest days.”
Fans quickly flooded social media with messages of support, tagging Uncle Si’s official account with photos, memories, and words of encouragement. Many recalled his unforgettable one-liners, wild stories, and the way he brought laughter and light to millions during Duck Dynasty’s historic run.
“There’s only one Si Robertson,” one fan wrote. “And we’re all pulling for him.”
Jep also shared a personal reflection about what his uncle means to the family:
“He’s more than just the funny guy on TV. He’s our uncle, our storyteller, our reminder that joy can be found in every moment — even the hard ones.”
While the family hasn’t released specific medical details, Jep assured fans that Si is being closely cared for by family and doctors, and that he’s grateful for all the love being sent his way.
“If you want to help,” Jep added, “pray. And maybe rewatch an episode or two — he’d love knowing y’all are still laughing.”
As the Duck Dynasty family leans on faith, support, and each other, fans around the world are doing the same — holding onto the humor, heart, and unforgettable presence of Uncle Si Robertson.
Because as Si would say himself,
“Hey, I ain’t done yet, Jack!”
