As part of SRV's Make - A - Wish Foundation, Stevie visited a young fan at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas & traded his straw hat seen on the cover of Soul To Soul for the boy's fedora. When the boy passed away about a month later, his parents laid him to rest with Stevie's hat.
Tommy Shannon; “I remember many years ago, there was a young boy who was dying of Cystic Fibrosis in a hospital in Dallas. His dying wish was to meet Stevie. We went to the hospital with Stevie and there was the kid with an oxygen tank and tubes running up his nose. You should have seen the look on his face when Stevie walked in. Even though he knew he was going to die soon, he was happy at that moment. Stevie went over and talked with him a long time. I could tell Stevie did not feel uncomfortable at all. He talked to him like he would anyone else. He showed him some things on the guitar, they laughed and had a good time. This boy was happy. Stevie made him happy. When we left, Stevie whispered something in his ear, and gave him his hat. His favorite hat. A couple of weeks later the boy died. They buried him with the hat Stevie gave him.”
