Yes. In addition to brothers Willie, Jase and Jeptha — seen on the show along with their father, Phil, and uncle Si — there is a fourth Robertson brother, Alan. The oldest of the brothers “left the duck call business when he received the call for full time ministry in 1988 and now serves as a senior pastor in West Monroe, LA.,” says the site of Duck Commander, the family enterprise. “He calls himself a Jacob in a family of Esaus.”
