Patrick Mahomes suffers family tragedy days after Super Bowl 2025 defeat

Just five days removed from the Super Bowl 2025, Patrick Mahomes’ grandfather, Randy Martin, has died.

Randi Mahomes, Patrick’s mother, broke the news on Instagram on Friday.

“Hard to find the words of holding my father’s hand as he goes to Heaven,” Randi wrote with the announcement. “I know he’s in a better place. I love you daddy. Well done, good and faithful servant!”

Martin’s health had been on the decline for some time.

In September, Randi posted that “he is in the hospital and is not well,” and asked for prayers.

The specifics of his ailments were unclear.

Randi provided an update on her father’s health on Jan. 24, when she announced that Martin had entered hospice care.

“My dad is in hospice and I’m lost for words,” she said.

Martin was “hanging on” in hopes of seeing his grandson play in Super Bowl 2025 as the Chiefs went for a three-peat, Randi said just a few days before the game.

Mahomes is in the midst of a Hall of Fame career, already winning three Super Bowls at the age of 29.

“I know that it has meant a lot to him,” Randi said prior to the Super Bowl. “He must be such a proud grandpa, so proud.”

Mahomes has vowed to make up the lopsided loss to the Eagles, which many considered one of the worst games of his career.

“Appreciate all the love and support from #ChiefsKingdom I let y’all down (Sunday),” Mahomes wrote on social media.

“I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me. We will be back,” he wrote to his social media followers after the game.”
