Patrick Mahomes’s maternal grandfather, Randy Martin, is facing serious health challenges. His mother, Randi Mahomes, shared this heartbreaking news through social media updates without detailing his specific condition. On September 29, she posted a heartfelt photo from her father’s hospital room, stating, “Watching game with daddy today … prayers please for my dad,” on X. The picture showed Martin in his hospital bed, while Randi’s daughter, Mia Randall, sat beside him watching the Kansas City Chiefs game.
Randi had previously mentioned Randy’s health struggles in a post on September 13, asking for prayers. “Prayer warriors please pray for my daddy. He is in the hospital and is not well,” she tweeted along with several prayer emojis. A few days later, she shared her feelings through a cryptic tweet, expressing her confusion about the situation: “I just wish I could somehow make it all make sense … but I just cant. #stillblessed,” alongside a biblical message encouraging trust in God.
Subsequently, Randi took to Instagram to urge her followers to pray for her father. “If you are seeing this, take a moment, and PRAY for my dad now,” she requested via her Instagram Stories on September 22 (as reported by Essentially Sports). Randi has always shared her close relationship with her family online, long before her father’s health began to decline.
Emotional Tributes to Randy Martin
Randi Mahomes’s parents enjoyed a long marriage of 53 years until her mother’s passing in 2023, contrasting with Randi’s own early divorce from Patrick’s father. Randi’s website highlights how her parents lived in her childhood home in East Texas until her mother’s death and shaped her into the person she is today.
This strong family bond was evident long before Randy’s health became an issue. Randi previously celebrated Father’s Day in 2023 by sharing a heartwarming photo of herself with her father in front of a private jet, captioning it with, “Love you daddy [heart emoji] #fathersday #family #blessed.” Not long after, she humorously noted, “Almost got daddy to smile!!!” in a post featuring him alongside his grandchildren, Jackson Mahomes and Mia Randall.
Easter also saw Randi sharing a touching moment with her father, showcasing Patrick holding one of his daughters beside her grandfather and captioning it with, “Priceless time with my family,” while also including heartfelt emotions about missing her mother, who had recently passed.
Randi Mahomes’ Tribute to Her Mother
Randi is familiar with the pain of losing a parent, as her mother, Debbie Martin, passed away in April 2023. A family friend announced this heartbreaking news on Facebook, highlighting the profound loss felt by Randi, who had a very close relationship with her mother. Shortly after, Randi shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram expressing her love and longing: “I love you momma, I will see you again in Heaven.”
Randi continued to honor her mother’s memory as months went by, especially on her mother’s birthday in August 2023. She expressed her grief on Instagram, sharing a throwback photo and stating, “[I] love you and miss you so very much … it still doesn’t feel real.” Additionally, she shared plans for a scholarship in Debbie’s memory to further commemorate her mother’s legacy.
