As Patrick Mahomes leads the Kansas City Chiefs toward another Super Bowl, his family is dealing with an emotional battle off the field. His mother, Randi Mahomes, recently revealed that her father, Randy Martin, has entered hospice care, leaving her feeling overwhelmed with grief.
She shared the news on Instagram, posting a heartfelt photo with her father and writing, “My dad is in hospice & I’m lost for words.” It was a gut-wrenching update for fans who have followed her journey, especially after the loss of her mother, Debbie Bates Martin, in April 2023. Nearly two years later, the pain still lingers, and now, with her father’s health in decline, the weight of these losses is hitting even harder.
Earlier this week, Randi took to X with another emotional post, writing, “I really wish I could call my mom… I always knew she would be as excited as me on what I had to say. Miss you momma so very much it hurts.” The message struck a chord with fans, who flooded the comments with support and prayers.

Her mother was more than just a parent-she was her best friend. In a previous Instagram tribute, Randi wrote, “You will NEVER know how precious your mom’s voice is until you can no longer hear it. She was the LOUDEST proudest bestest mom and Nannie ever. I know mom’s in a way better place but my heart aches missing her.” With her father now in hospice, those feelings of loss seem to be resurfacing even more.
The Mahomes household navigates a difficult crossroad
Randi had been providing updates on her father’s health for months. In September, she asked for prayers as he was hospitalized, and in early January, she celebrated his birthday with a hopeful message. But the recent hospice announcement has made it clear that this is an especially difficult time for her.
Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes is balancing his family’s struggles with the pressures of leading the Chiefs to a possible third straight Super Bowl championship. He hasn’t publicly addressed his grandfather’s condition, but his close relationship with his mother suggests he’s deeply aware of what she’s going through.
As the Chiefs prepare for the Super Bowl, the Mahomes family is leaning on faith and support from loved ones. Randi continues to ask for prayers, holding onto hope in what has been a challenging start to the year.
