00:00Unfortunately, Patrick Mahomes' maternal grandfather, Randy Martin, is having some serious health
00:05issues.
00:06Here's what we know.
00:07Patrick's mother, Randy Mahomes, revealed the sad news in a series of social media posts,
00:11but didn't go into the particulars of her father's condition.
00:14The first post came on September 13th, when Randy took to X and tweeted,
00:18"'Prayer Warriors, please pray for my daddy.
00:20He is in the hospital and is not well."
00:22Then on September 18th, she made two more posts that seemed to reference her father's
00:26condition.
00:27The first was a graphic of a Bible verse, and the second was a cryptic tweet that read,
00:31"'I just wish I could somehow make it all make sense, but I just can't.'"
00:35Randy's next update came on the 22nd, when she posted a plea on her Instagram stories
00:40for her followers to pray for her dad.
00:42She wrote,
00:43"'If you are seeing this, take a moment and pray for my dad now.'"
00:46Then on September 29th, she took to X to upload a touching snap from her father's hospital
00:51room.
00:52In the picture, we see Randy in his hospital bed while his granddaughter Mia Randall sits
00:56beside him with the Kansas City Chiefs game on the television.
00:59She wrote,
01:00"'Watching game with daddy today.
01:02Prayers please for my dad.'"
01:03Thankfully, the Chiefs won their game that day, so at least there was one thing to be
01:07happy about.
01:08This closeness with her family was apparent long before Randy announced her father's health
01:15woes.
01:16For instance, in honor of Father's Day in 2023, she uploaded a sweet photo to Instagram
01:21where she posed with Patrick's grandfather in front of a private jet.
01:24She wrote in the caption,
01:26"'Happy Father's Day.
01:27Love you, daddy.'"
01:28A couple of months later, she posted a photo where we see Randy alongside two of his grandchildren,
01:32Jackson Mahomes and Mia Randall.
01:35She joked in the caption,
01:36"'Almost got daddy to smile.'"
01:37Randy also shared a touching post with her dad for Easter, an Instagram snap that included
01:42all three of her kids in addition to two of her grandchildren.
01:46Randy wrote in a caption,
01:47"'Priceless time with my family.'"
01:49She also included the hashtag MissYouMama as that was her first Easter without her mother
01:53Debbie, who died in April 2023.
01:56Unlike her and Patrick Mahomes' father, who got divorced relatively early in their marriage,
02:00Randy's own parents were married for 53 years, all the way up until Debbie's passing.
02:05According to Randy's website, she credits them both for helping her become the woman
02:09she is today.
02:10Randy first shared the news of Debbie's death on April 3rd via Instagram.
02:14Alongside a picture of her sitting with her mother, she wrote,
02:16"'You will never know how precious your mom's voice is until you can no longer hear it.
02:21She was the loudest, proudest, bestest mom and nanny ever.
02:24I know Mom's is a way better place, but my heart aches missing her.
02:28Until I see you again, Mama."
02:29A few days later, a family friend named Teresa Jane shared a collage of pics and wrote,
02:34"'My best friend, Randy Mahomes, lost her best of best friends yesterday.
02:38Her sweet mom.
02:39The one who showed up for everyone, every time.'"
02:41A few days after that, Randy took to Instagram to share a touching slideshow.
02:45She wrote in the caption,
02:46"'I love you, Mama.
02:47I will see you again in heaven.'"
02:49Not long after that, she took to X to announce that she was starting a scholarship fund in
02:52her mother's name.
02:53Many followers took the time to comment and express their approval.
02:56One user wrote,
02:57"'A wonderful way to honor her memory.
02:59Prayers to you and your family.'"
03:01The heartfelt tributes to Martin continued in the following months.
03:04In observance of her mother's birthday in August 2023, Randy captioned a throwback Instagram
03:09snap of her planting a kiss on her mother's cheek.
03:11She wrote,
03:12"'Happy birthday, Mama.
03:13I love you and miss you so very much.
03:15It still doesn't feel real.
03:16You are gone, but I know you are in a much better place.'"
