KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL community are in mourning following the sudden and tragic passing of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Wednesday evening. He was 30.
Mahomes’ family released a brief statement late Wednesday night confirming the news, describing the loss as “devastating beyond words.” According to the statement, Mahomes passed away unexpectedly while at his home in Kansas City. No official cause of death has been released, though sources close to the family say he had been dealing with undisclosed health complications in recent weeks.
A two-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion, Mahomes had established himself as one of the most dynamic and beloved players in league history. Known for his improvisational style, powerful arm, and infectious leadership, he led the Chiefs to multiple championship appearances and became the face of the franchise.
“Patrick wasn’t just an incredible athlete — he was a devoted husband, father, son, and friend,” the family statement read. “His light touched so many, both on and off the field. We ask for privacy as we grieve this unimaginable loss.”
Tributes poured in quickly across the sports world. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid called Mahomes “like a son to me,” while several current and former players took to social media to express their shock and sorrow.
The NFL has not yet announced plans regarding this weekend’s schedule, but a moment of silence is expected league-wide. Mahomes is survived by his wife, Brittany, and their three children.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
