Patrick Mahomes’ family is currently in mourning. This is after Randi Mahomes, the mother of the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, announced on Friday that her father, Randy Martin, had passed away.
Randi Mahomes did not reveal her father’s cause of death, but she previously announced that the 78-year-old had entered hospice care in January.
Patrick Mahomes has yet to break his silence on the family tragedy, but his younger brother, Jackson Mahomes, has now shared a three-word message on the passing of his grandfather.
“love you papa🖤” Jackson Mahomes wrote on his Instagram stories, sharing a photo of himself as a kid dancing with Martin.
While both Jackson and Randi Mahomes were able to make the trip to New Orleans to support Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs at Super Bowl LIX, the same was not the case for Martin, who passed away just five days after the big game.
Randi Mahomes spoke to reporters ahead of the Super Bowl, and at that time, she revealed that her father was “hanging on” in anticipation of watching his grandson play in what was Patrick Mahomes’ fifth Super Bowl in six years.
“I know that it has meant a lot to him,” Randi Mahomes told People during the NFL Honors awards ceremony in New Orleans on Feb. 6. “And I think he’s hanging on because he wants to see his grandson do an amazing thing or just let him play.
“I mean, he must be such a proud grandpa, so proud. And my mom was very proud and his other grandparents [were too].”

Unfortunately for the Mahomes family, the Chiefs found themselves on the losing end in the biggest game of the season. It was the Philadelphia Eagles who dominated the contest en route to a 40-22 victory, thereby denying Kansas City what would have been an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat.
Jackson Mahomes was one of the thousands of Chiefs fans who suffered heartbreak in New Orleans on Sunday. The social media influencer, 24, is five years younger than the Chiefs’ quarterback.
According to Us Weekly, Patrick and Jackson Mahomes are Randi Mahomes’ two sons with her ex-husband Pat Mahomes Sr. They have two half-sisters, Mia Randall and Zoe Mahomes, and a half-brother, Graham Walker
