Just hours before stepping onto the field against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes received devastating personal news—his grandfather, Randy, had entered hospice care.

The heartbreaking update was shared by Patrick’s mother, Randi Mahomes, through an emotional Instagram Story. Alongside a heartfelt photo with her father, she quoted Colossians 3:20: “Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.”

“My dad is in hospice, and I’m lost for words,” Randi wrote, expressing the depth of her sorrow.

This somber moment comes just months after Randy had been hospitalized. At that time, Randi had turned to her followers on X (formerly Twitter), asking for prayers for her father. “Prayer warriors, please pray for my daddy. He is in the hospital and is not well. His name is Randy,” she posted.
