Paul Walker, the beloved actor known for his role in the Fast & Furious franchise, tragically passed away on November 30, 2013, in a car accident in Santa Clarita, California. He was a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT driven by his friend and business partner, Roger Rodas. They were returning from a charity event organized by Walker's organization, Reach Out Worldwide, to support typhoon relief efforts in the Philippines.
