In 1941, Bruce Smith became the first Heisman winner from the University of Minnesota. The former Golden Gopher great was only 47 when he was diagnosed with cancer in the spring of 1967. The cancer quickly ravaged Smith’s body as he lost over 100 pounds in a matter of months. Despite his weakened condition, Smith courageously accompanied Reverend William Cantwell comforting and entertaining youngsters also suffering from the disease. Smith ultimately succumbed to the disease in August of 1967, but only after surviving far longer than doctors had predicted. Smith’s wife Gloria later said, “He forced himself to live three months longer than any medical man said he would because he wanted to spend the summer with his kids.” Reverend Cantwell, who was unaware of Smith’s athletic accomplishments, nominated Smith for sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church and continued to invoke his intercession on behalf of young cancer patients long after his death.
