Paul Walker’s brother, Cody Walker and his wife Felicia have named their newborn son Paul, in tribute to the fallen “Fast & Furious” star.
Cody Walker is preserving his late brother’s memory alive after almost 10 years since he died tragically in a car accident at age 40.

“This November will mark 10 years since we lost my brother, Paul, and I just felt now was the appropriate time.
“My brother, Paul, was Paul William Walker IV and that name goes back four generations,” he continued. “Within the family, he went by ‘little Paul’ or ‘Paul 4,’ even though he quickly outgrew our father in height. It was important to me to have that name carry on,” Cody Walker told publication.
While “Furious 7” was still in production, Paul Walker passed away in late November 2013. Filming resumed after a break in the schedule, with Cody Walker and their brother Caleb filling in for the late star.

Walker was killed while riding in the passenger seat of a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT being driven by a member of his racing crew, according to CNN. About 30 miles north of Hollywood, in the Santa Clarita city of Valencia, the car crashed into a light pole and caught fire in an office park.

Meadow Walker Thornton-Allan, the daughter of actor Paul Walker, made a cameo appearance in the most recent “Fast X” movie this year.
The first fast was released when I was one year old! I grew up on set watching my father, Vin, Jordana, Michelle, Chris and more on the monitors.
“Thanks to my dad, I was born into the fast family. I can’t believe now I get to be up there too,” she said of the “Fast” core cast.
