Man Who Saved Grandmother's Life With Kidney Donation Dies of Gunshot Wound
ROSSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - Daniel Huffman gave up football eight years ago when he donated a kidney to his grandmother so that she could live. Now his grandmother has lost her hero.
Huffman, 25, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head Monday at his home in central Illinois. Authorities said there was no sign of foul play and family members and friends are struggling with the possibility that he may have taken his own life.

"He was always so happy, so fun," Huffman's grandmother, Shirlee Allison, told the Chicago Tribune for Sunday's editions. "He put a lot of joy into everyone's life. He was always doing things for you, making you feel so special."

Huffman, a defensive tackle on Rossville's high school football team, decided to put away his football gear in 1996 for his grandmother, whose diabetes left her seriously ill and in need of a kidney transplant.
