Paul Walker's brother Cody Walker was moved to tears as he spoke about the 10-year anniversary of his late brother's death. The beloved actor was only 40 when he passed away in 2013, when the car he was travelling in crashed into a lamp post in California.
Since that fateful day, Paul Walker has been remembered in all sorts of ways, including an emotional farewell from the Fast and Furious franchise. Now, Cody has shared the way the family have been honouring him each year, admitting it's "hard to believe" he's been gone for a decade.
"Usually, a member of the family will take pictures of the sunrise or the sunset on his birthday," Cody began, before becoming too emotional to continue. His friend, Fast and Furious star Tyrese Gibson, quickly rose to comfort him with a hug.
Through tears, Cody regained his composure and fondly recalled his older brother, who was 15 years his senior. Walker had taken him under his wing when their parents divorced, when Cody was still in middle school.
"I got to travel a lot with him, he'd take me away. My mom would say, ‘He's got to come back for school,' and [Walker] would just say, ‘Oh, he's learning everything he needs to learn with me.' He meant a lot of things to a lot of people. And we miss him a lot."
Amid reports that Walker's daughter Meadow, 24, has become estranged from the family, Cody expressed his pride in her accomplishments. Meadow was only 14 when her father passed away, and has since followed in his footsteps by appearing in Fast X and working as a supermodel.
"She's doing her own thing. She's pursuing that career. She's finding her success. Very proud of her right now," Cody said.
Paul Walker's legacy lives on in all the hearts he touched, and the family's tributes to him every year will ensure that his memory will never fade.
