NFL star Patrick Mahomes, his wife Brittany, and their two children, Sterling and Bronze, were killed in Missouri when their SUV was struck by a semi-truck during a storm. The tragedy came just days after celebrating Brittany’s birthday.
Mahomes, only 29, had already won three Super Bowls and two MVP titles, but he was most cherished as a devoted husband, father, and leader off the field. Teammates and fans alike are mourning deeply, with coach Andy Reid calling him “family” and Travis Kelce saying, “I lost a brother.”
To honor him, the Chiefs will retire his No. 15 jersey, donate $15 million to his foundation, and hold a public memorial at Arrowhead Stadium, where fans continue to gather with flowers, jerseys, and heartfelt notes.
