In an Instagram post on his 16th birthday, in 2020, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar wrote of their son:

“You are one of the best story/joke tellers I’ve ever heard and you certainly keep us laughing! 😆 I love hearing you whistle and sing as you go about your day. 🎶 And I am also so touched by the way you devote time every day to read your Bible so faithfully!”
