R.I.P Paul Walker

On November 30, 2013. The star of the franchise Fast and Furious, Paul Walker passed away. Walker died in a tragic car accident along with his friend Roger Rodas. It was reported that Walker and Rodas was leaving a charity even that Walker hosted, the two got in a car and left. From the crime scene it looked like the car was speeding through the streets and went out of control and ran into a light post. Roads appeared to be the one driving the vehicle however, both died on the spot.

Paul Walker was in the middle of shooting the 7th movie of Fast and Furious causing the entire movie to be put on hold. It was later announced that the movie will have to restart thus pushing the initial released back a year. Walker's death was devastating for the fans the franchise and the cast and crews of Fast and Furious. Condolences came from every where on the internet. The most emotional post by far is by Walker's long time friend and partner in the movie: Vin Diesel. Diesel's facebook post on Walker's death:

''When I heard, I immediately flew back to California, and went directly from the plane to his mother's house...
I thought they needed my strength, but realized when I got there and broke down before his family, that it was I who needed theirs. His mother hugged me and said I am so sorry... I said sorry? You're the mother who lost a son?... She said yes, but you lost your other half...''

Paul Walker will forever live on in the Fast and Furious movie. The world shall never forget this man who  dedicated his life making others happy. Rest in peace, Paul Walker.
