Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his family have received some devastating news ahead of their AFC Championship Game showdown with the Buffalo Bills.
Patrick’s mother, Randi Mahomes, took to Instagram and announced that her father, Randy, is now in hospice. Randi shared a photo of them with the two together with a caption that reads, “My dad is in hospice & I’m lost for words.”
Back in September, Randi asked for prayers after revealing that her father was hospitalized and not doing well. Randi’s mother and Patrick’s grandmother, Debbie Bates Martin, passed away on Apr. 5, 2023.
