Video of Patrick Mahomes' Beloved Grandma Debbie Adorably Chugging a Beer With Her Grandson Resurfaces, as Chiefs Yet Again Defeat Bengals

For the last couple of days, Patrick Mahomes and his family were going through a tough phase concerning his grandmother, Debbie Martin. She was seriously ill and sought prayers from all KC fans worldwide. Unfortunately, the sad news had arrived. The quarterback’s grandma breathed her last on Friday. A family friend revealed the death news on social media through a touching post.

Recently, Mahomes’ mother, Randi, was seen drawing courage with biblical quotes on Twitter, asking for help. Netizens continued to shower her with love and offer prayers for her well-being. However, it was time for the noble soul to depart.

Debbie Martin was a great fan of Patrick Mahomes

The Chiefs quarterback is yet to release an official statement in this regard; however, a close family friend shared the update on Facebook. “My best friend @randimahomes lost her best of best friends yesterday…. Her sweet mom.” an account by the name of Teresa posted, per MARCA.

“The one who showed up for everyone every time. The person more like her than anyone, the person who loved her no matter what… please keep her in your prayers and know her messages and phone have literally blown up with love, but she just can’t reply yet,” she added.

Debbie was an avid football fan and passionately followed her grandson, breaking records in the NFL arena. One of the heart-melting moments in this regard happened after Mahomes won his second Super Bowl title this year.

She had placed a bet with Randi to enjoy a beer once the quarterback and his team reached the championship game. The mother (Randi Martin) of three shared the cheerful moment on Instagram and garnered crazy reactions from fans.

Mahomes family traverses a tough time

Last season turned out to be a great year for Patrick Mahomes in his professional and personal life. He got married to his longtime girlfriend, Brittany Mahomes, welcomed a second child into his family, and eventually won a championship title. However, things changed in the last couple of weeks after his younger brother Jackson got accused of misbehaving in public.

He tried to forcibly kiss a bar owner in Kansas City. Even though Patrick remained tight-lipped on the entire issue, fans constantly roasted him online. Soon, his grandmother’s condition worsened, and now this unprecedented death has become a matter of concern. As this is a developing story, readers can stay tuned for more updates.
