Paul Walker’s younger brother still feels grief 11 years after the actor’s death.
“Paul passed away way too young, at 40 years old,” Cody told E! News in an article published on Wednesday, March 5. “Every single year I get closer to 40, it just bums me out. It’s weird to say that I’m 36, I’m going to be 37. And I feel like every year beyond 40 is going to be like, ‘He should have had this. Here’s another year Paul should have had.’”
“It’s the guilt for getting there. The guilt is like, why? Why do some people get taken from us, and others stick around that you know shouldn’t? It’s just the damnedest thing. It’s not fair,” he said.
Paul died in a car accident in November 30, 2013. The 40-year-old Fast and Furious star was driving his Porsche Carrera GT in Los Angeles, California, with his pal Roger Rodas when he got into a wreck.
“For an unknown reason the driver lost control of the vehicle and the vehicle partially spun around and began to travel in a south-easterly direction,” Kristy McCracken from the Los Angeles coroner’s office said in her report, which was obtained by The Guardian.
“The vehicle then struck a sidewalk and the driver’s side struck a tree and then a light post. The force of these collisions caused the vehicle to spin 180 degrees and it continued to travel in an easterly direction,” the report continues. “The passenger side of the vehicle then struck a tree and it then burst into flames.”
Paul was survived by his only daughter, Meadow Walker, who was 15-years-old at the time of the crash.
Meanwhile, in Cody’s recent interview with E! News, he shared that losing his brother so tragically taught him to be “grateful for every day that you have. And to tell the people you love that you love them.”
