💔 VERY, VERY SAD NEWS: 25 Minutes Ago in California, Tom Brady Just Announced a VERY URGENT UPDATE to His Fans That His Father, Thomas Brady Sr., Is Now… 💔

In an emotional and heartbreaking statement delivered just moments ago, legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady took to social media with a devastating update that has left fans across the world in shock and sorrow.

Standing outside a family residence in Northern California, with red eyes and a somber tone, Brady announced that his beloved father, Thomas Edward Brady Sr., has passed away peacefully at the age of 81.

“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to say,” Brady began, visibly holding back tears. “My hero, my best friend, my father — Thomas Brady Sr. — left us this morning. He was surrounded by family, love, and peace. He lived a life of purpose, humility, and incredible grace.”

Brady went on to describe his father as “the foundation of everything,” calling him the reason he became the man he is today — both on and off the field.

“He was more than a father to me,” Brady continued. “He was the loudest cheerleader, the quiet strength behind every decision, and the person I always turned to when I needed guidance. He taught me what it means to be a leader, a teammate, a husband, and a dad.”

While the Brady family had kept Thomas Sr.’s recent health struggles private, those close to them say he had been battling complications related to a prolonged illness over the past year.
