The Mahomes family is not new in the NFL. When we talk about the superstar fam, it is full of athletes and celebrities. From Basketball players to football players, talent runs in the Mahomes tribe.

And when we talk about the power family of Kansas City, how can we not talk about the folks’ heartbeat Randi Mahomes? While Randi has become a household name for being Patrick’s mother, she loves sharing glimpses of her life through social media. And the momma loves cheering on her son Pat from the sidelines.

However, while the Chiefs won their fourth game in a row, mom Mahomes couldn’t make it to the gridiron. And the reason might break your heart. So, grab a tissue box, as Randi watched the Sunday face-off with her father from the hospital.

While sharing the sad news, the superstar’s mom wrote on X, “Watching game with daddy today… prayers please for my dad.” While details about his medical condition remain scarce, who is Randy Martin, the rock of the Mahomes family?

Who is Randy Martin?

Larry Randy Martin and Deborah Bates Martin are the parents who shaped Randi Mahomes into the person she is today. And Randi’s Instagram bio “A humble, tight-knit, town and her parents,” says it all. Randi’s father, Martin, is a former school principal who had his focus clear—to give his kids the best education. With 33 years of a teaching career, Larry worked at Gatesville State School for Boys, Madisonville, Troup, Maydelle, and Palestine High Schools. Since academics were in Randi’s genes. She had a good academic performance and completed her education at Texas High School.

The superstar mom gives all the credit for her success and humbleness to her family. And Randy Mahomes deserves all the credit too! A devoted father, grandfather, and patriarch, that’s Randy Martin for you. He lived with his little tribe in the small town of Troupe, East Texas, giving all the love in this world to his people. Born on January 6 1947 to Carroll Houston Martin and Gladys Winona Sharp in Cherokee County, Texas, Randy is a disciplined yet fun loving man.

He tied the knot with his soulmate Deborah on Jun 6, 1969, at First Assembly of God Church, Overton, Rusk, Texas. They share a beautiful world of three children: Jill, Lori and Randi. As their love flourished, the couple celebrated their 40th marriage anniversary on June 6 with their family. While their children hosted a beautiful dinner at Hollytree Country Club, Mr. and Mrs. Martin enjoyed the evening with their loved ones.

And Randi often shared fond memories and heartfelt moments with her father on social media too. From Father’s Day tributes to lighthearted jokes, their bond is built on love, respect, and mutual support. And Randi Mahomes never fails to share her love for her parents. In an Instagram post in 2020, she wished her dad Father’s Day with the caption, “Happy Father’s Day dad!! I love you.” And that’s not all!

Isn’t it an achievement to make our fathers laugh? Well, the super mommy won the battle and wrote, “Almost got daddy to smile!!! #family #myrock #mygirl #daddy #blessed.”

But soon the happiness has turned out to be that she’s in over her head. Patrick Mahomes’ grandfather has been hospitalized for over fifteen days now and we can just pray for him.

Just a few days ago, she took to her X account to share the unfortunate news of the sudden decline in her father’s health. “Prayer warriors, please pray for my daddy. He is in the hospital and is not well.” The heartbreaking announcement comes less than two years after her mother, Debbie Bates Martin’s demise. In another post, Randi Mahomes wrote on social media, “This is how I fight my battles. If you are seeing this, take a moment, and PRAY for my dad now.”

Randy Martin is surely the kind of dad we all manifest in life. With him facing health issues, let us just pray for the former principal’s speedy recovery!
