Fans of Duck Dynasty were met with a wave of concern this week after rumors began circulating online about the health of fan-favorite Uncle Si Robertson. Known for his quirky humor, iced tea, and unforgettable one-liners, Uncle Si has always been a larger-than-life presence—but behind the laughs, many have wondered: how is he really doing?
In a recent update shared through his podcast and social media, the 76-year-old beloved Robertson uncle finally spoke directly to fans, putting speculation to rest—and opening his heart in the process.
“Look,” Si began with a trademark grin, “rumors fly faster than ducks in hunting season. So let me just say it plain: I’ve had some health issues, but I’m still kickin’. And I ain’t done yet.”
He went on to share that he has been managing ongoing lung complications following past surgeries, as well as routine treatments and checkups. While he admitted that the road hasn’t been easy, he assured fans that his faith, family, and a whole lot of stubbornness are keeping him going.
“God’s not finished with me,” he said. “I’ve still got stories to tell, jokes to crack, and grandkids to embarrass.”
Si also took a moment to thank fans for their prayers and concern, saying he’s felt “every single one of them.”
“I may wheeze a little louder these days, but the Lord gave me another morning—and I’m gonna use it,” he said, tipping his cap.
Support flooded in from fellow Duck Dynasty family members, with Jase and Willie Robertson both reposting Si’s message and adding their own words of encouragement.
For fans who grew up watching Si’s antics and heartfelt wisdom, the reassurance means everything. Though age and health challenges are real, one thing is clear:
Uncle Si’s spirit is as strong—and as unpredictable—as ever.
