A WALKER TO REMEMBER

A DECADE ON FROM HIS DEATH, WHO PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE MUCH-LOVED PAUL WALKER

- Jennie Noonan

ON November 30, 2013, fans were shocked when Paul Walker, the handsome and popular star of the juggernaut Fast & Furious film franchise, died after the Porsche Carrera GT he was in as a passenger crashed at a speed of more than 150 km/hour and burst into flames in Los Angeles. He was just 40 years old.

The shocking event cut short a vibrant life and unexpectedly successful career that kicked off when Walker's mum, a model, began taking her oldest son along with her to her photo shoots. Before long, he was scouted for modelling gigs of his own that rolled into small TV parts while he was still in school.
