Patrick Mahomes’ grandfather Randy has died at the age of 78, the Chiefs quarterback’s mother has announced.

Last month it was revealed that Mahomes’ grandfather had been moved into hospice care just over 48 hours before he secured his place in the Super Bowl.

Yet five days after Kansas City’s crushing defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans, Patrick’s mom Randi has announced that her father has passed away.

‘Hard to find the words of holding my fathers hand as he goes to Heaven,’ Randi wrote alongside a series of photos of her and dad Randy.

‘I know he’s in a better place. I love you daddy. Well done, good and faithful servant’.
