Paul Walker’s untimely death occurred on November 30, 2013, at the age of 40, leaving a lasting impact on his family, friends, and global admirers. In a September Instagram tribute for what would have been Paul’s 50th birthday, Meadow reflected on the lessons she learned from her father.
“Happy birthday to my guardian angel,” she wrote, accompanied by a childhood photo. She thanked him for his love, guidance, friendship, and for instilling in her the appreciation of beauty in the world. Meadow praised Paul’s character, describing him as the “most kind, humble, generous, and caring soul” and highlighting the values of respect, kindness, and environmental care that he instilled in her.
Cody Walker, Paul’s brother, recently expressed his admiration for how Paul embraced fatherhood and conveyed his pride in Meadow’s achievements. Cody shared, “She’s pursuing a career that’s extremely difficult, but she’s finding her own way and she’s landing success, and he’d be so proud of her,” in an interview with People.
In a touching tribute, Cody and his wife Felicia named their newborn son Paul Barrett (“Bear”) Walker in honor of the late actor. As the 10-year anniversary of Paul’s passing approaches this November, Cody found it fitting to pay homage to his brother through his son’s name.
