Both Travis, the standout tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Jason, the All-Pro center for the Philadelphia Eagles, struggled to hold back tears as they spoke about the profound impact their grandmother had on their lives. “She was our rock, our guiding light,” Travis said, his voice breaking. “Everything we’ve accomplished, we owe to her. She taught us what it means to love, to work hard, and to always stay humble.”
Jason echoed his brother’s sentiments, recalling fond memories of their grandmother. “She was always there for us, at every game, every milestone,” he shared. “Her love was unconditional, and she was our biggest fan. Losing her is a pain we can hardly put into words.”
Margaret Kelce was known for her dedication to her family and her community in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where she lived most of her life. Friends and family describe her as a kind-hearted woman who was fiercely proud of her grandsons and their achievements, but who also valued humility and service to others. “She never missed a chance to remind us that it’s not about the accolades or the fame,” Jason said. “It’s about being a good person, just like she was.”

Teammates, coaches, and fans took to social media to express their support for the Kelce family. Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid offered his heartfelt condolences, stating, “Travis is like a son to me, and I know how much his grandmother meant to him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kelce family during this difficult time.”
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni also commented, “Jason is the heart and soul of our team, and we stand with him as he grieves this tremendous loss. The entire Eagles organization is here to support him and his family.”
In their final remarks, both Travis and Jason emphasized the importance of family, urging everyone to cherish their loved ones. “Life is short,” Travis said.
“We were blessed to have Grandma in our lives for as long as we did, and we will carry her legacy forward in everything we do.”
