Randi Mahomes, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes, captioned an X post from murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk, telling the late father and husband to “Rest in Heaven.”
On Thursday, Mahomes took a recent post from Kirk in which he told his followers that “Jesus defeated death so you can live,” and added her caption.
Randi Mahomes is a known supporter of President Trump and has been outspoken about her Christian faith.
Mahmoes joins dozens of others from the sports world who have joined in the outpouring of prayer and condolences for Kirk and his family. Among them are Heisman Trophy winner and national college football champion Tim Tebow, NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre, and former Cowboy Dez Bryant.

“The National Football League asks that you please join us in a moment of silent reflection, following the murder of Charlie Kirk,” the public address announcer said. “The NFL condemns all violence in our communities. It will take all of us to stop hate. Thank you.”
