FAST and Furious star Paul Walker was just 40 years old when he died in a horrific car accident. He was more than just a movie star. He was a dad, a boyfriend, a car enthusiast and a mate. Life was better with him in it. Here's why.
1. Because he was just going with the flow
"By nature, I go with the flow. I just kind of let things roll. Things happen when they're supposed to.
"Sometimes I'll get down on myself and be like, 'You know what? Maybe if you were a little more aggressive and tried to make things happen, a lot more would probably come around. '
So I chase that angle, and sure enough, nothing happens. Five years later, it falls in my lap. So I'm like, 'Man, I'm just gonna be the way I am'."

12. Because he was deep
"I'm a Christian now. The things that drove me crazy growing up was how everyone works at fault-finding with different religions. The people I don't understand are atheists. I go surfing and snowboarding and I'm always around nature. I look at everything and think, 'Who couldn't believe there's a God? Is all this a mistake?' It just blows me away."

14. Because he was "sweet and grounded"
15. Because he was a "total gear head" who died doing what he loved
"I have a performance shop called AE Performance and we do race prep and all that stuff out in Valencia. So I have a couple partners and we all race together. It's a family business basically. We brought in friends and people coming from different economic backgrounds, let's just say, but it's cool because everyone gets to have their cake and eat it too. Eric Davis, Roger Rodas, Rich Taylor, Casey Adamo are just a handful of the guys involved." - Paul Walker
