Mia Robertson, the daughter of Duck Dynasty icons Missy and Jase Robertson, finds herself in a somber state this week, grieving the loss of a man whose presence held significant meaning in her life. Dr. David Genecov, a dedicated caregiver who had been tending to young Mia for numerous years, tragically met his demise in a car accident last Saturday.
Missy Robertson took to Instagram to convey this heart-wrenching news, a message shared while her daughter Mia was undergoing surgery aimed at mending a cleft lip and palate. In her message, Missy highlighted her husband’s remarkable medical contributions and their profound impact.
“His compassionate nature provided solace to both Mia and me, while his unrelenting belief in our ability to conquer challenging circumstances made Mia and me stronger than we ever envisioned,” Missy expressed with heartfelt gratitude.
Mia Robertson’s life journey has been meticulously documented, tracing back to her early childhood. In July, she underwent her 14th operation, an experience she believes may mark her final one. The Mia Moo Fund, established to ensure that every child can experience the gift of a smile, stands as a testament to her resilience. Missy Robertson revealed that she has shared the news with Mia, who is taking it to heart. The family fondly remembers Dr. Genecov’s willingness to involve Mia in decision-making and his impeccable professionalism.
“He exceeded all our hopes and expectations on the path of Mia’s cleft journey,” Missy reflected. “While we will dearly miss him, we are profoundly thankful for the work he dedicated to Mia and all his cleft lip and palate patients, as well as the medical advancements he leaves behind for future generations.”
Mia, as of now, has refrained from addressing the incident on her social media platforms. “Her life before meeting Dr. David is a distant memory,” her mother added. Missy Robertson requested prayers for Dr. Genecov’s grieving family and everyone affected by his untimely passing.
