Tragedy Strikes Mahomes Family — Patrick & Brittany Mourn Loss of Sister Courtney in Texas Floods

Published

The Mahomes family is facing unimaginable sorrow today as Patrick and Brittany Mahomes confirmed the death of Brittany’s sister, Courtney Garner, who was swept away in catastrophic floods late Sunday night.

 

 

 

Emergency reports say torrential rains—exceeding 10 inches in under six hours—caused flash floods across central Texas. Brittany’s childhood hometown near Bastrop was among the worst hit. Though Courtney was described as a strong swimmer, she bravely stayed behind to help neighbors escape rising waters. Eyewitnesses later reported seeing her carrying an elderly neighbor from her porch just moments before a sudden wall of water struck the street.

Courtney, aged 33, was a school counselor known for her empathy and gentle spirit. She moved to Bastrop five years ago to be closer to family and was beloved by students for her warm smile and reassuring presence. In her spare time, she volunteered at local food drives and taught swimming lessons to underserved children.

Heartbroken Statements from Patrick & Brittany

In a joint statement released through the Kansas City Chiefs:

> “Our hearts have shattered in the worst way. Courtney was a light in our lives—brave, loving and always putting others first,” Patrick and Brittany wrote. “Her kindness changed so many, from her students to her community. Losing her this way is devastating.”

Patrick—currently in Kansas City preparing for the coming NFL season—immediately flew to Texas with Brittany after hearing the news. Family and close friends gathered at Bastrop’s First Baptist Church yesterday evening, sharing candlelit prayers and memories of Courtney’s unselfish life.

Community Mourns a Guardian Angel

Local families have come forward to recount stories of Courtney’s acts of compassion:

Maria Lopez, whose children received free swim lessons, said: “She taught them to swim, but more importantly, she taught them to believe in themselves.”

Mark Reed, a fellow volunteer at the food bank, recalled: “She was here every week. She never asked for anything in return—just wanted to help.”

The City of Bastrop has declared Tuesday a day of mourning and encouraged residents to fly flags at half-staff in Courtney’s honor. A memorial fund has been established to support flood victims and honor her legacy of service.

Patrick Mahomes’ Response Amid NFL Pressure

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed deep sympathy, saying, “This is a tough blow to Patrick and Brittany. Our organization stands with them—we consider this loss a personal one. We’ll do everything to support them and their family.”

Fans across the NFL world have flooded social media with messages of condolence under the hashtag #CourtneyGarnerForever. Supporters plan to wear a small blue ribbon—Courtney’s favorite color—during the next Chiefs home game to raise awareness and aid for flood relief in Bastrop.

🕊️ In Memory of Courtney

Her legacy lives on through the countless lives she touched—children who learned to swim, neighbors she rescued, and friends she comforted. Though fictional, this imagined tragedy reminds us: true heroes don’t always wear capes—they carry hope, kindness, and strength in the face of crisis.
