GAINESVILLE, Texas — An officer who lost his home and possessions got a special holiday surprise from country singer Randy Travis.
Officer Keith Bartlett’s house caught fire on Dec. 12, NBC DFW reported. While he and his family escaped safely, they lost their home and their belongings, including Bartlett’s prized guitar.
The police community managed to find the family a temporary home, but he was still without his guitar.
On Christmas Day, Bartlett’s department sent him on a hoax call of a suspicious car. When he returned, country music singer Randy Travis was at the station with a new guitar.
Travis signed the guitar for Bartlett and spent some time with members of the department.
“Surprised isn’t even the word for it,” Bartlett said. “These are amazing people.”
