Patrick Mahomes’ Grandfather Enters Hospice Before AFC Championship Game

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback faces emotional challenges as his family navigates difficult news ahead of a pivotal playoff matchup.

Randi Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes' mother, announced on January 24 that her father, Randy, has been placed in hospice care, sharing the news via Instagram with a heartfelt message and a Bible verse.
The announcement comes just days before the Kansas City Chiefs face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship, a game with historic implications if the Chiefs win and advance to a potential third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
Patrick Mahomes has not publicly commented on his grandfather’s condition, but his family has faced a series of personal challenges over the past year, including legal and public controversies involving other family members.
This emotional update follows a recent high point for the Mahomes family, as Patrick and his wife, Brittany, welcomed their third child, daughter Golden Raye, earlier this month.
Despite off-field difficulties, Mahomes has led the Chiefs to a 15-2 record this season, with the team aiming to secure another Super Bowl appearance in what could be a historic achievement for the franchise.
