On February 12, 2025, Randy Martin, the grandfather of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, passed away at the age of 78. He had been in hospice care and had hoped to see his grandson play in his fifth Super Bowl. Patrick’s mother, Randi Mahomes, shared her father’s passing on social media, expressing her gratitude and love for him. The loss came just days after Patrick and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, bringing joy and pride to the family before Randy’s passing.

Previously, in January 2025, Randi announced that her father was in hospice care and hoped he would be able to watch his grandson play in the Super Bowl. The passing of Randy is a huge loss for the Mahomes family, but they find comfort in knowing that he got to see his grandson achieve great success before he passed away.

Patrick Mahomes has always emphasized the importance of family in his career and personal life.

The support and love from his grandparents and parents played a major role in his journey to becoming one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. This loss will certainly motivate Patrick to continue playing and contributing, bringing pride to his family and honoring his beloved grandfather.

The Mahomes family has received many condolences and encouragement from the fan community and colleagues in the sports world. This solidarity and affection is a great source of encouragement to help them overcome this difficult time.

The passing of Randy Martin is not only a loss for the Mahomes family but also for the fan community, who have followed and supported Patrick throughout his career. We send our deepest condolences and prayers to the Mahomes family during this difficult time.
