I was deeply saddened and shocked to hear about the tragic passing of Paul Walker – a great actor, father and philanthropist who lost his life in a car accident on Saturday, November 30th. The Fast and Furious star was taking part in a fundraiser through his non-profit organization Read Out Worldwide to help typhoon victims in the Philippines, where he headed out for a drive with a friend shortly after the event.
According to US Weekly magazine, “Walker went for a drive in a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, which belonged to a friend… [Walker] was the passenger when his friend lost control and slammed the vehicle into a tree.”
May he rest in peace now – his family and friends are in my prayers.
