Debbie Bates Martin, the graпdmother of the Kaпsas City Chiefs’ star qυarterback, passed away last Wedпesday followiпg υпspecified health battles at the age of 72. Debbie was the mother of Patrick’s mom, Raпdi Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes and the regal Mahomes family had a fiery start in 2023. The quarterback became a two-time Super Bowl champion and celebrated his first wedding anniversary with his wife, Brittany. However, the offseason has been troubling and delicate for them. Mahomes’ grandmother was in critical condition recently, but a new update has shared something heartbreaking for the star QB and the family.
Not too long ago, Patrick Mahomes’ mother, Randi Martin, shared an update on her mother, Debbie Martin. She took to Twitter to reveal that her mom was extremely sick and was at the hospital. Given the family’s closeness, Grandma Debbie certainly had the respect of every family member.
After the critical health update, Randi Martin’s closer friend Teresa Jane shared the news of Debbie Martin passing away. On Facebook, Jane posted a collage and wrote, “My best friend [Randi Mahomes] lost her best of best friends yesterday…. Her sweet mom. The one who showed up for everyone every time. The person more like her than anyone, the person who loved her no matter what …”
Randi Martin’s friend requested everyone to keep Debbie in their prayers. Moreover, Patrick Mahomes’ mother’s phone is buzzing constantly with messages and calls and she cannot respond to all of them. The Facebook post also included information about the memorial service.
Debbie was one of Patrick Mahomes’ biggest supporters. From his athletic beginnings in Texas, she has remained one of the QB’s biggest support systems. Her support was visible in his grandchild’s journey to the Super Bowl LVII, too.
The Super Bowl LVII had the ultimate hype as the Kelce Bowl, but Mahomes’ grandma also attracted fame. Debbie’s support for Patrick Mahomes was clear as day after the Chiefs’ AFC Championship sweep over the Bengals.
I hadn’t gotten the chance to see Debbie Martin in many many years but she was always such a sweet and kind person. My condolences goes out to @tootgail and the entire Martin/Mahomes family. Fly high and rest easy Debbie 😔#ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/itHA4SDWAk
