Duck Dynasty star Uncle Si Robertson has been hospitalized, though he is reportedly on the mend. Justin Martin, who has worked with the Robertson family’s Duck Commander business since 2008, shared a health update on Facebook on Wednesday, October 1, writing, “Before any rumors get started, yes Uncle Si is in the hospital.
He’s doing very well but was having a little trouble whooping a severe sinus infection.” Martin added that Si, 77, is recovering and “will be discharged soon,” promising a full update on the Duck Call Room’s social media.
Fans first met Uncle Si on A&E’s Duck Dynasty, which aired from 2012 to 2017, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Louisiana-based Robertson family and their business, Duck Commander. The series followed patriarch Phil Robertson and his wife Kay, Phil’s brother Si, and Phil’s sons Willie, Jep, and Jase, as well as other relatives, across 11 seasons.
After nearly a decade off the air, Duck Dynasty: The Revival premiered in 2025, focusing on Willie, 53, Korie, 51, their adult children, and grandchildren. The revival aired shortly after Phil Robertson’s death at age 79 from Alzheimer’s, which the family confirmed one week prior to the show’s return.
Korie Robertson shared in a May statement, “We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord. He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘You do not grieve like those who have no hope.’… 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.”
Phil’s diagnosis was first publicly confirmed by the family in December 2024. Duck Dynasty: The Revival concluded its first season with a touching scene between Willie and Phil, honoring the late patriarch.
Before his passing, Willie reflected on cherishing family moments, telling, “I think it’s just [about] giving and caring about the people you love the most, and that’s the family and the grandkids… those moments are special, and you just want to enjoy ’em and live in that moment, live in the small things and don’t get too caught up in just running after all the things that we run after and we get busy.”
