Last month it was revealed that Mahomes’ grandfather had been moved into hospice care just over 48 hours before he secured his place in a third straight Super Bowl.
Yet five days after Kansas City’s crushing defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles, Patrick’s mom has announced that Randy has now passed away.
‘Hard to find the words of holding my fathers hand as he goes to Heaven,’ Randi Mahomes wrote alongside a series of photos of her father.
‘I know he’s in a better place. I love you daddy. Well done, good and faithful servant’.

Even though Randy had bad days, his daughter explained that “the one thing that he remembers” is the date of the Super Bowl. “I know that it has meant a lot to him,” Randi told PEOPLE at the time. “And I think he’s hanging on because he wants to see his grandson do an amazing thing or just let him play.”
