The NFL community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Carrie Purdy, the mother of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who passed away following a sudden stroke, according to family sources.
Carrie Purdy was remembered as more than just a devoted mother — she was described by friends and family as the “heart and foundation” of the Purdy family, whose unwavering love and guidance shaped her son’s rise from small-town Iowa standout to one of the NFL’s brightest young stars.

The 49ers organization released a statement expressing their deepest sympathies, saying, “Carrie Purdy’s strength and spirit live on through her family. We stand with Brock and the Purdy family during this unimaginable loss.”
