A man in Colorado anonymously purchased a special guitar for a young boy who visited the store often just to play it.

This is Fallon.

Over the last couple of years, Fallon would travel over an hour to visit J.B. Hart Music Co., Inc. in Grand Junction from his home in Montrose.

His request each time was to play the "Pantera guitar", meaning the Dean Dimebag Darrell ML Guitar.

"We were shocked he knew some Dimebag riffs," a spokesperson for J.B. Hart Music Co., Inc. said.

Fallon, who has Williams Syndrome, has an excellent knowledge and a love for music. His dream was to own this guitar.

Eight months ago, while he was in the store playing it, a customer took notice of Fallon. It moved the customer so much that he returned to the store later, purchased the guitar, and asked the music shop to give it to Fallon anonymously the next time he came in.

"However, we didn't see Fallon until today," the store wrote in a Facebook post on December 31, 2021. "We tried finding him to no avail. Today, his family came in the store, and we learned they had moved to Texas and returned this week for a visit."

"It was a wonderful experience to gift Fallon his dream guitar as a gift from a kind stranger," the post continued. "His mom burst into tears, and Fallon beamed with excitement. It was a special moment. There are still good people in this world."
