A great man's legacy will never die - Paul Walker (1973-2013)


    Little did I realize how much of an impact someone made in my life, until that person is gone. And that person doesn’t even know of my existence, probably. And I know for sure, many of you out there feel the same. The man I’m talking about is Paul Walker, star of my favourite movie franchise of all time, Fast & Furious. He died in a car crash driven by Roger Rodas, who also died in the crash. They were in a Porsche Carrera GT which hit a lamp post and exploded. They were actually taking part in a charity event to raise money to help the victims of the Phillipines typhoon. Paul wasn’t just a great actor, but such a humble, kind and caring person. The Fast & Furious movies have deepened my enthusiasm towards cars and Paul Walker was quite frankly my role model/idol. He is the reason I love the Skyline GTR, when I first saw him driving it in 2 Fast 2 Furious. He also is a co-owner of AE Performance, a tuning company which manufactures car performance parts and race-preps. I’ve always had the dream to open my own tuning company and knowing that he has one of his own just pushes me harder to motivate myself and achieve my dreams. I feel like I can associate with him in many ways possible. It was really devastating to hear the news of his departure from our world but I’m sure and I quote this from Vin Diesel that “heaven has just gained another angel”. He went too soon but thats life, purely unexpected things happen. In some ways, I’m happy he left in a Carrera GT, which he did mention before as one of his top favourite cars. There so much more to him but little I have left to say. The world really lost a great man and I wish to thank him for what he has done in the film industry as well as his great help and donations for charity. I pray for his soul to rest in peace. Amen.
