MAHOMES’ BIGGEST FAN

Patrick Mahomes Suffers Family Tragedy After Super Bowl Loss

The star quarterback’s grandfather was recently placed in hospice but lived long enough to see his grandson play in his 5th Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes’ grandfather, Larry “Randy” Martin, died five days after the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback lost the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles. Mahomes has played in five Super Bowls and won three. In an Instagram announcement made on Friday, Mahomes’ mother, Randi Mahomes, announced her father’s death. She said, “Hard to find the words of holding my father’s hand as he goes to Heaven. I know he’s in a better place. I love you daddy. Well done, good and faithful servant!” In an earlier Instagram post made on Jan. 24, Randi said her father was entering hospice care. He had reportedly been having health issues for months. Before the Super Bowl, Randi said her father was “hanging on” to watch his grandson in the game. She also said, “I know that [Patrick’s career] has meant a lot to him. He must be such a proud grandpa, so proud.”
