The Legacy of Paul Walker—Tragedy, Memory and a Lasting Bond
On 30th November, 2013, Paul Walker, who was best known for playing Brian O'Conner in the popular 'Fast & Furious' trilogy, passed away at the age of 40 in a terrible car accident. In Santa Clarita, California, he was a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT when the driver lost control and collided with a lamppost. Both the men inside the car were declared dead at the spot after it caught fire upon contact. Over the years, Meadow has repeatedly celebrated her father's memory, not only through social media posts but also by carrying along his altruistic attitude.
