“It’s the worst day of my life,” Chiefs’ Andy Reid says through tears, announcing the sudden passing of his beloved…
KANSAS City Chiefs coach Andy Reid has experienced huge professional success in his life – and devastating family tragedies.
Reid is considered one of the greatest head coaches in NFL history after leading the Chiefs to three Super Bowls.
But the father-of-five has also had to deal with huge personal loss throughout his career.
Reid’s eldest son Garrett died after a heroin overdose in 2012 at just 29.
Meanwhile, his son Britt has been jailed multiple times, including a 2021 drunk-driving incident that left a girl with severe brain injuries.
Here is a look at Reid’s heartbreaking tragedies involving his children.
Meanwhile, Reid was an ever-present father despite the demands of his coaching roles with the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles.
Reid would leave home for his Green Bay office at 4 am to work a couple of hours, then return home to help get the children ready for school before going back to work.
“This wasn’t an anecdote told just to get hired,” former Eagles president Joe Banner said.

Reid’s children had “idyllic upbringings” in a suburb of Philadelphia, per the New York Times.

Reid would leave home for his Green Bay office at 4 am to work a couple of hours, then return home to help get the children ready for school before going back to work.
“He did that for the 14 years that I worked with him. He was as loving and caring a father that I have ever seen.”
Despite having huge advantages, Garrett became addicted to drugs in his 20s and frequently got in trouble with the law.
Garrett was arrested in 2007 for a car crash that seriously injured another driver.
He was under the influence of heroin at the time of the crash and was sentenced to 23 months behind bars.
