Patrick Mahomes‘ mother, Randi, commemorates the heavenly birthday of her late mother. The year 2023 commenced on a high note for the Mahomes family, as their star quarterback secured both the Super Bowl victory and the MVP title. However, the family’s joy was soon tempered by the unfortunate news of Debbie Bates, Mahomes’ grandmother, passing away following a challenging battle with health issues.

The heart-wrenching news was initially conveyed by a close family friend on Facebook in April, accompanied by a heartfelt tribute to the nurturing mother who stood by her family through thick and thin. Now, a few months following the untimely loss, Randi has gathered cherished moments with her mother to honor her on this special day.

Following Debbie’s untimely passing, Randi took to her social media platforms to share a series of heartfelt tributes in honor of her mother. In addition to this, she established a scholarship fund bearing her mother’s name, intended to benefit deserving students. The fund has successfully amassed a total of $6345 thus far. On the occasion of Debbie’s birthday, the loving daughter took to her social media to post a beautiful montage of heartfelt moments.

Accompanied by the caption, “Momma I love you 🤍,” the poignant video commences with a snapshot of Randi affectionately kissing her mother’s cheek, with a birthday cake before them. Notably, Debbie dons a Chiefs’ hoodie and later plays with her granddaughter, Mia, with the same piece of clothing, in a room filled with balloons. The footage also captures Debbie alongside Jackson in one of the photos, and most images depict her in her wheelchair. The video concludes with a scene of Debbie raising a toast to the camera, bedecked in a pearl necklace and an elegant pink dress. In the background, Boyz II Men’s soulful tune “A Song for Mama” provides a fitting emotional resonance.
