Since 2025 started, everything was going smoothly for Andy Reid‘s Chiefs until February hit. After their AFC Championship win against the Bills and their heartbreaking Super Bowl loss to the Eagles, everything changed—the Chiefs roster, locker room, and now even the announcer’s booth. On February 9, Patrick Mahomes couldn’t lead the Chiefs to a historic three-peat—heartbreaking. Just days later, his grandfather passed away. But it’s not just the franchise QB going through major changes; something different is going on in Kansas City right now. And according to the franchise’s official announcer, a lot has changed in the past few days.

The ‘Voice of the Chiefs’, Mitchell Holthus, took to Instagram to share a simple yet heartbreaking message. He wrote, “It is almost unimaginable that in a mere 34 days, we lost three GIANTS of the broadcasting world—Greg Sharpe, Dan Israel, and Bob Davis.” The 67-year-old Chiefs Radio Network announcer continued, “All three were great professionals and masters of their craft. However, all three had to endure a lot toward the end, and all three were selfless in their service to others and their families.” He also said he would miss them greatly and added that their creativity, courage, and caring nature would be a beacon of light.

For the past month, starting from February 14, Andy Reid has been losing longtime companions. First, Greg Sharpe. Then Dan Israel. And now, Bob Davis. It’s unthinkable what it must feel like for the aged giants who worked with them for a lifetime. All of a sudden, the city has lost three stars. The 61-year-old head coach, announcer, and Clark Hunt surely must be feeling the weight of this loss.

The city mourned a legendary announcer just a day ago, bidding farewell to a voice that had echoed through stadiums and living rooms for decades. These voices weren’t just background noise; they were part of the soul of Kansas City sports, shaping the memories of generations of fans. Their legacies will live on, but the silence left behind is deafening. Curious to know more about all three legends, their remarkable journeys, and the impact they left behind? Let’s dive in!

Andy Reid’s Chiefs lost three giants

Just a day ago, Chiefs Kingdom lost 60-year-old Dan Israel, who had been with the team for the past 35 seasons. Compared to Patrick Mahomes’ eight seasons and his massive impact on the franchise, just imagine what kind of legacy Israel left after calling games on the Chiefs Radio Network for 35 seasons.

And hold on for a bit. Just a few hours ago, Kansas City lost Bob Davis, who had been the voice of Kansas Jayhawks football and basketball. Though he hadn’t worked directly with the Chiefs, he was a true broadcasting legend in Kansas City. And in a heartbreaking turn of events, just days ago, on March 13, 2025, Davis lost his wife, Linda. May they both rest in peace and remain together in heaven.

And on February 14, the city lost another legend, Greg Sharpe, widely known as the “Voice of the Huskers.” That day, Greg lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at 61 years old. He had contributed immensely to Kansas City sports from 1996 to 2002. It’s touching to know that he was also honored by the Kansas City Chiefs on October 8, 2024.

But one thing is certain—whenever Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes’ team step onto the gridiron, these three legends will surely be watching from above, shedding flowers and tears of joy from heaven. Rest in peace, Dan, Greg, and Bob.
