“My Father Died in 2008”: Patrick Mahomes’ Brave Kansas City Chiefs Mother Randi Martin Wins Many Hearts

The 2x SB MVP’s Instagram feed is mostly filled with professionally curated pictures of him in football attire or with brand endorsements. Not that we’re complaining. Sometimes one can even spot his wife, Brittany, and their daughter, Sterling. But if one wants an unfiltered glimpse of the Mahomes family, the matriarch’s Instagram account is the place to go. Now, she has shared yet another post, which is drawing heartfelt reactions from netizens.

No fan of Patrick Mahomes is unfamiliar with Randi Mahomes. The KCC QB is what he is‌ because of her. But who is the man behind Randi Mahomes?

The idol behind Patrick’s idol

Randi Mahomes took to Instagram to share a picture of her chilling with her dad, Randi Martin. Pat’s Mom can be seen reclining on a couch with a bright smile on her face and Pat’s grandfather, sitting with a serious face. It seems that Randi’s Dad still has not gotten used to being photographed for social media. The post was captioned, “Evening with my dad and Mia 😌”. Since Mia cannot be seen in the frame, we are assuming she is behind the lens and took the endearing photograph.

The comments section was soon flooded with netizens complimenting the picture and reminiscing about memories with their own parents.

One user tried to empathize with Randi by saying that both had lost one of their parents. While the user had lost their father, Randi had lost her mother. @osfan19721 said, “God Bless You Randi! We are the opposite. I have my Mother and Lost my Dad, You have your Father still and no mother. Believe me I know the pain of losing a parent. My Father died in 2008 and seems like yesterday”
