Who is Wendy Taylor the mother of Jawaan Taylor and is she dead or alive as death rumors go viral
While fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers were getting excited about their impending Super Bowl match, there was a stir on social media about claims that Jawaan Taylor’s mother had reportedly passed away.
On Wednesday, the 26-year-old second-round selection and his mother Wendy resorted to social media to dispel some recent rumours. Wendy wrote:
Hello everyone
Just want to jump on here really, really quick to let you know that I’m safe, I’m alive and I’m well.”
She explained that her son’s paternal grandmother had died recently, expressing profound grief over the loss of the matriarch of the family.
My dear mother-in-law passed away. The matriarch of the family. The sweetest, dearest, kindest woman loved by all.”
Grandmother* 🙏🏾

The Chiefs player made the following statement on Wednesday morning at the Super Bowl media availability:
I dedicate this game to her.”
Taylor will now be without his grandmother to support him after losing his father two years ago. It is expected that Jawaan Taylor’s mother will be present to see him attempt to win his first Super Bowl on Sunday. Here is all about who Wendy is.
Who is Wendy Taylor?
Wendy Taylor is the mother of American football player Jawaan Taylor and is married to Robert Taylor.
As the youngest child in his family, NFL player Jawaan’s parents were wed for 27 years and had been together for 29 years. Jawaan has a sister named Shaquitta and an older brother named Jeremy.
Since Taylor’s mother disliked football, she forbade her children from participating in the game. But Robert played football during his childhood, all the way up to Cocoa High School. He was also a member of the Tigers’ district championship-winning defence.
His decision to become a professional football player was most likely influenced by his father’s passion for the game and encouragement of Jawaan.
