Uncle Si Died: A Hoax That Fooled Many Fans of Duck Dynasty

Who is Uncle Si?

Uncle Si, or Silas Merritt Robertson, is an American television personality, veteran, and a retired reed maker for duck calls at Duck Commander. He is best known for his role on A&E’s Duck Dynasty, on which he has emerged as a breakout cast member. He is also known for his humorous antics, his iced tea obsession, and his catchphrase “Hey, Jack!”

How did the rumor start?

The rumor about Uncle Si’s death started when Conservative Tears, a satirical website, published an article on March 10, 2020, claiming that he was found dead in the woods near the Duck Dynasty warehouse. The article was intended as a joke, but many fans of the show took it seriously and expressed their condolences on social media

How did Uncle Si respond?

Uncle Si himself took to Facebook to debunk the hoax and assure his fans that he was alive and well. He posted a video of himself holding a newspaper with the date and saying, “I’m alive and kickin, y’all!” He also joked that the rumor was only 95% true, because he was actually found unresponsive in a recliner, not in the woods

What is Uncle Si doing now?

Uncle Si is still active in the entertainment industry and has appeared on several shows and podcasts. He also released a book titled Si-renity: How I Stay Calm and Keep the Faith in 2016, and a gospel album titled Me and My Smoking Hot Honey in 2014. He is happily married to his wife Christine for over 50 years and has two children and eight grandchildren
