The Man Whose Life Ended Short and Tragically: RIP Paul Walker

I had been a fan of Paul Walker since I was about seven years old. Ever since I had seen him in the movie The Fast and The Furious, he had basically taken my heart. Although I've had other celebrity crushes throughout my life. No one could ever match for the love that I've had for this man and when he had tragically passed away, it had hit me like no other...

Paul William Walker IV was born in Glendale, California to Cheryl and Paul Walker III on September 12, 1973. He was the eldest of five children and had a dream to become someone.

Paul Walker used to model when he was a child and began to act in small roles on television shows. Then he began acting in movies which made his debut in the movie Meet the Deedles which was when he started becoming more famous. At first, he wasn't sure on whether or not he should keep acting. It wasn't something that he had really thought about continuing doing. But, with family and friends convincing him, he decided to stay in the industry.

Paul Walker had starred in many movies and one movie that had really made him bigger than ever was The Fast and The Furious. He had spoken about how he wanted to star in a movie where he could either be an undercover cop or be racing cars, which is how the movie came to be, and it had incredible actors such as Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez. Then it had gone so far as becoming a huge franchise that also included actors such as Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, and more.

Paul Walker also had a daughter named Meadow Rain Walker in 1998. He was excited and nervous about becoming a father, but he had done a good job nonetheless. But, it had been hard since he had been working and Meadow Walker had spent most of her childhood with her mom and lived in Hawaii. It wasn't until 2011 when she decided to move in with her father and Paul Walker couldn't have been any more excited. As Meadow Rain had been living with Walker, their bond together had become very strong and he never worked on a movie without consulting with her first.

Paul Walker also had a love for helping people. When the earthquake had hit Haiti and many people were sick and homeless and starving, he believed that he had to do something for them. Walker decided to call up a few people and decided to make a trip and get a whole bunch of supplies, paying for all of it out of his own pocket. He had helped so many people and he continued helping others in the organization that he had founded called Reach Out Worldwide. It became such a huge foundation and has helped thousands of people.

Paul Walker has always been a person of good heart. He had always cared for people and had done a lot of charity functions for organizations, especially for cars, which is what he really loved and one of his treasures. Paul Walker had gone far enough as to once pay for an engagement ring for a couple that couldn't afford the ring. The man was in the military and took his fiancé to the jewelry store to look at beautiful engagement rings. But, the one that the woman wanted was too expensive and her fiancé couldn't afford it. But, Paul Walker went out of his way and decided to pay for the ring for them anonymously, and it wasn't until he had signed the receipt and left the store when they had noticed who he really was. Paul Walker had always kept his life in private no matter how many movies he had done. I know that most of the people I had met never knew who he was until I had mentioned it to them.

Paul Walker had tragically passed away on November 30, 2013, in a car accident after he and his friend Roger Rodas for a test drive in the Porsche Carrera GT. They were at a charity event for the Reach Out Worldwide organization to help raise funds for the victims of the Typhoon Haiyan that happened in the Philippines. After the car started going out of control, it crashed into a lamp post and two trees and caught on fire. Roger Rodas had died instantly on impact. But, Paul Walker was knocked unconscious and was killed in the fire. Both their bodies were burnt beyond recognition.

Paul Walker's death had impacted many lives. So many people had put up memorials for him and his friend Roger Rodas. Also, his costars and very good friends such as Tyrese Gibson and Vin Diesel had paid tribute to his death. It made him so special, and he had become more recognized after his death from the people who didn't know who he was. It had become such a sad time for a lot of people and many mourned over his death.

I definitely mourned over his death. After having loved him for over 12 years, it was sad to hear that he had passed away. It had been hard for me to believe that he could actually be gone. I didn't want it to be real. But, I knew that it had happened and there was no other choice for me to do but to move on from it. I mourned for almost two weeks and after that I had been alright ever since. I'm not sad like I used to be. Now I am happy that he is in a better place and I hope for nothing but the best for his family and everyone who had been a part of his life. He was a strong man with a kind, big heart. And I hope that he is resting in peace up there, watching over everyone.
