Steph Curry Mourns Heartbreaking Loss of Grandmother: A Family’s Emotional Tribute to Their Matriarch
Steph Curry, one of the NBA’s biggest stars, found himself reflecting deeply on the loss of a family member this week. His mother, Sonya Curry, shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram on Monday, announcing the passing of her own mother, Steph’s grandmother, Candy Adams. In an emotional post, Sonya celebrated the life of the woman who had been a foundational pillar in their lives, referring to her as a “provider, protector, and inspiration.”
Sonya’s tribute was filled with warmth and reverence as she expressed how her mother’s legacy would live on in the family through every “hug we give” and “every story we tell.” For Steph, this message clearly struck a chord, prompting him to respond with his own emotional note of appreciation. The Golden State Warriors star shared his condolences, acknowledging the profound impact his grandmother had on the family. “GG,” as he affectionately called her, may have passed, but her spirit and love would continue to resonate with the Currys.
Steph’s close relationship with his grandmother was well-known. It wasn’t just a typical family bond, but one that had shaped much of his personal growth and perspective on life. Many on social media, including fellow athletes, celebrities, and non-basketball fans alike, offered their condolences to the Curry family, clearly moved by the emotional nature of the tribute.
It’s moments like these that remind us of the strength of family and the profound influence loved ones can have, regardless of fame or distance. The Curry family’s mourning for their matriarch is not just a personal loss, but a moment that resonates with many of Steph’s supporters, who admire the humility and grace with which he handles both the highs and lows of his life. The impact of Candy Adams’ love will continue, as Sonya Curry said, in each embrace and every shared memory.
