Paul Walker may have passed on, but his friends and family are keeping his memory alive.
Known for his role as Brian O'Conner in the six "Fast & Furious" films, the would-be 41-year old actor died in a single-vehicle accident on the 30th of November 2013, in Valencia, California. Along with racer and financial adviser Roger Rodas, the two men were leaving Walker's charity event for Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW), aboard a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The car crashed into a concrete light pole and burst into flames, killing both driver and passenger instantly, and burnt beyond recognition.
Walker died in the middle of filming the seventh "Fast & Furious" film, which his brother Cody ended up finishing.
A year has passed since the actor's death, and his brother is not only helping keeping the memory of Brian O'Conner alive. The younger Walker is also carrying continuing to run the ROWW, something he believes would make his brother proud.
In a report by E! News, the organization had been busy helping kids out through toy drives and school supplies. The ROWW also deployed one of their teams to Mayflower, Arkansas to assist its citizens whose lives were wrecked by the tornado. Cody had also traveled to the Philippines to conduct a medical mission for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
"ROWW continues to be, to function, to help others even after our primary contributor, my brother, Paul Walker has passed," Cody said. "I know he would be so stoked to know that. ROWW changed his life, and he was so proud of it."
Meanwhile, the actor's father also paid tribute to his late son, whom described as someone who 'radiated love.'
"Paul had a really good heart," the elder Walker said in a separate interview. "I thought, 'How did I deserve such a wonderful son?'"
Paul III added that despite his son's success as an actor, he never wanted to be involved in the entertainment business. While he did embrace what his fame entailed, the actor's father says his son rarely talked about his work or his movies.
"He didn't like the limelight. Paul said one time, 'I really don't like this business, but I can do a lot of good with the money I make.'"
