In a heartbreaking announcement, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took to social media today to share the tragic news of the passing of his beloved mother, Randi Mahomes. The 28-year-old NFL star, known for his on-field success and leadership, expressed deep sorrow and grief in the post, offering a heartfelt tribute to the woman who played an instrumental role in his life and career.
“My heart is shattered, and I’m at a loss for words. I love you, Mom,” Mahomes wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of himself with Randi. “You were my biggest supporter, my rock, and the best mom anyone could ask for. You will forever be in my heart, and I will continue to make you proud every single day.”
Randi Mahomes, who was 58, had been a fixture at Chiefs games for many years, often seen cheering from the stands and supporting her son through his rise from college football star to NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion. Known for her vibrant personality and close relationship with her children, Randi was a constant presence in Patrick’s life both on and off the field.
While the cause of her death has not yet been publicly disclosed, family members have confirmed that Randi’s passing comes as a significant loss to the Mahomes family. Friends, teammates, and fans alike have expressed their condolences, rallying around the quarterback during this incredibly difficult time.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, speaking at a press conference, offered his condolences to Mahomes and his family, calling Randi “a wonderful person” who was deeply loved by everyone around her. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Patrick and his entire family,” Reid said. “We know how close Patrick was to his mom, and we are here for him in any way he needs.”
Mahomes, who has been the face of the Chiefs’ dominant offense and an iconic figure in the NFL, is currently preparing for the team’s upcoming games. However, it remains unclear whether he will take time off from football to mourn his mother’s passing. Teammates, including tight end Travis Kelce and linebacker Chris Jones, have already shown strong support for Mahomes, offering their sympathies on social media and through personal messages.
Randi Mahomes, who had always been outspoken about her pride in her son’s achievements, leaves behind a legacy of love and strength.
