So devastating. A truly sad loss. Biggest condolences to his family and his daughter. May he rest in peace.
this is so sad, RIP Paul, you will truly be missed.
I can’t believe it! Paul Walker was only 40-years-old (so young)!
Very sad. A talented actor. Life can be taken in the blink of an eye.!!
So true and so very sad. RIP Mr. Walker.
Very sad. He will not be forgotten.
paul was one of my favorites his family is in our prayers. Its a shame we lost another wonderful person at a young age.
This is so sad. Everything I’ve read about him indicates he was as beautiful inside as he was out. I came across one of his movies at Walmart yesterday and ended up putting it back at the last minute. I went back this morning for it; it suddenly became must-have for me.
So very sad to here of anyone so very young to have lost their life! Such a tragic way to go! May his daughter & family have some comfort in knowing just how much he was loved by his fans & followers! May God send them strength & courage during these very difficult days! Rest in Paradise Paul Walker 1973-2013 sleep well & fly & dance with the angels!
So very sad to here of the lost of a good man and his friend it hard to say how just a very good actor lost of a young life he be well missed may god hold him close and as he does that may he wipe away the tears that will be shared by everyone that knew him and that his Daughter and family feel his kiss on there cheek and the warmed breeze as he walk beside you all R.I.P Paul Walker you have touched our hearts xxx
I still find it strange that TMZ and other sources were reporting this death before it even happened. I wish people would question the mainstream media instead of blindly accepting every story they are force fed. Whatever the truth is…it is a sad siuation all around…especially for walker’s teenage daughter.
R.I.P Paul. May his daughter have the strength and courage to bear the tragic, sudden, and untimely loss of her dear dad. Gone way too soon. Guess, D does not distinguish and waits for no one: young or old; rich or poor; famous or unknown; successful or struggling….
What’s so strange is that I just saw his movie TFTF1 for the first time on the same day that he died. Can’t believe the timing.
To the Walker family,
With sincere condolences RIP Paul.
RIP Paul Walker, another Angel in Heaven.
