Paul Walker Death Update: Cody Walker Talks About Brother's Reach Out Worldwide Disaster Relief
Paul Walker's younger brother remains in mourning over his death nearly two years ago, and he opened up about the kind of person his brother was.
People magazine reports part of Cody Walker's heartfelt mission has him now serving as the brand manager for his "Fast & Furious" star brother's Reach Out Worldwide disaster relief organization.
"Aside from acting, his daughter [Meadow, 16] and ROWW were the most important things in his life, hands down," said 26-year-old Cody, a paramedic by trade.
Cody recently hosted an organization fundraiser attended by Tyrese Gibson and Michelle Rodriguez that collected more than $100,000 for the disaster relief fund. He said his brother never wanted recognitio for the charity work he did.
Cody never realized his brother was so popular and is even more proud to see the kind of people he surrounded himself with and that comprised his most intimate team.
"Everyone that ever encountered him, he had a way of just talking to people and just making everyone -- regardless of whether he just met you or not -- feel like you were the most important person in the world," he said.
Although his brother's love of cars is legendary, Cody Walker reflects he was so much more. He recalls his brother loved cars, but that he was also an adventurer at heart with many more passions than just that.
Among his onetime cast mates, Walker is loved and admired more than anything else. During a recent advanced screening of "Fast & Furious 7," star Vin Diesel broke down in tears while recalling the memory of his dear friend.
"This was a labor of love," Diesel said about the completion of the film, according to MTV. "It was in some ways the hardest movie I ever had to do. Because the relationships that you see on film are so real. When the tragedy happened, I lost my best friend. I lost my brother."
Walker, 40, died in a car crash in late November of 2013 while on break from shooting "Fast & Furious 7." CNN reports he was riding in the passenger seat of his 2005 Porsche Carrera GT when the driver, Roger Rodas, slammed into a light pole and the vehicle burst into flames about 30 miles north of Hollywood.
