The Rev. Franklin Graham, head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham, took to his Facebook page to offer condolences, describing Robertson as "a great friend to my father, to me, and to our ministries."

"Pat had an influence on me. I was always impressed with his boldness. He just spoke the truth and he was willing to take the heat," Graham stated. "I will miss Pat, but I know that I will see him again one day. I'm sure that his family would appreciate our prayers."
