His obituary from The Boston Globe is here:
FALLON, Richard "Dick" Henry Jr. Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend and Story Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, passed away on July 13, 2025. He faced his sudden illness with dignity, courage, and his signature blend of intellect, humility, and love. . . .
A leading constitutional scholar and gifted teacher, Dick authored numerous landmark books and articles and was twice honored with the Sacks-Freund Award for Teaching Excellence. His professional legacy is defined by the rare combination of a once-in-a-generation intellect and scholarship with deep gentleness, wit, and unwavering devotion to his students, colleagues, and the Harvard community. . .
In his final days, Dick dictated a sketch for a memoir that concluded: "I feel lucky in nearly every respect, especially including my family… I could not have done better if I had been permitted to choose."
May his memory be a blessing.

My colleague, Larry Solum, has a nice In Memoriam at his Legal Theory Blog. William Baude has a great post at Divided Argument that discusses some of Fallon's work, and also links to other tributes around the web.
