I didn't much care for his acting abilities. I didn't think they were had or anything. However I know he was very active in a lot of environmental efforts. [censored] your movies, RIP for your hardwork trying to make the world a better place Walker.

Yes, he was a good guy indeed. In fact, I heard he died on his way to a charity. That's a shame.

I don't get you people who say he died too young, he lived to the age of 40, that ain't 'too' young. Sure it would have been nice for him to live on till he's all wrinkly and stuff but dying at the age of 40 I would hardly consider 'too young', when someone dies in their 20's or even 30's one could say that "they were taken away from us too soon", but this guy has had time to do stuff in his life and while he might not have accomplished everything he could have hoped for at least he had quite a lot of time to do it, which is more than quite a lot of other people get.

I don't care for the racing films he's done nor any of the other films he's been in so I feel eerily apathetic about this.

I don't usually feel saddened by celebrity deaths but I am a fan of the Fast and Furious series they were a big part of my childhood.

At least he died in in something he was passionate about.

RIP to the driver of the vehicle as well.

In a world where the average age is around 55-75, depending where here you live, 40 is young everywhere.

It's so young most people still have kids in elementary school at that age.

Haven't personally watched any F&F movies, but it's sad he didn't get more time here.

This is exactly like the actor James dean, I feel so sad for people who die in car crashes and I say R.I.P you were my all time favorite character.

Uhhh, Dean died in a (more or less) head on collision at high speed with another car. We don't really know the details of the crash, so 'dying in a car crash' isn't exactly enough to say he died like James Dean.

My dad told me about this-this morning---I'm pretty stunned about it.

40 is the new 30 and so forth.

Paul in the afterlife: That would not have happened if I was behind the wheel..

I'll be 50 next March, so yeah, at this point in my life I would consider dying at 40 to be dying too young.

RIP Mr. Walker. My condolences to you and yours. Is there something set up to where donations could be made to the family?

Dozens of people die in car crashes every day. Sharing the news is one thing but my facebook feed is full of people falling over themselves to wail about how horrible it is that this particular car crash happened. I honestly don't see the point of such public displays of grief for someone you never even knew. To me, it feels highly disrespectful of the people that did know the man and are feeling legitimate grief.

I think the family will be fine financially. I'd suggest you donate to his charaity 'Reach Out Worldwide'. It would probably mean (have meant) more to him and his family.

Just my opinion, do as you wish.

Yup. 4 teens dead in New Brunswick last night here in Canada after a car accident. A middle aged-ish couple struck by a car up island last week.......

I feel for their families, but I understand peoples need to express their feelings, even for people who they may not know, but who meant something to them in some way. I enjoyed 'The Fast and the Furious' for what it was, a decent fast action paced movie, not a great movie, but entertaining non the less.

I don't think they are in the financial situation to require donations.

Anyways, he was an all around good person, very active in charity and environmental conservation (he actually majored in marine biology before he decided to act full time). He died leaving a fundraiser event by his charity. I still can't believe this, not only did he spark my love in cars but he inspired me to pursue marine biology as a career.

Also, seems they are going on with the seventh movie and are honoring him in it, most likely incorporating his death somehow. Comes out in July 2014 so most of it was probably already filmed.

RIP.

Heard about it last night. He would die in a car accident after leaving a charity event while apparently his daughter had moved from Hawaii to be closer to him. This predicament just gets more unfortunate.

Also, Roger Rodas' (the driver and Walker's financial advisor) son saw the crash happen and tried to save his dad from the wreck while it was on fire.

Both were very good men. They co owned the Always Evolving modification shop together and raced together as well. Both were involved in charity work. Very unfortunate.

It's because to us car enthusiasts..at least of this generation he was a big deal. Fast and Furious sparked a lot of 20 something and youngers interest in cars and brought us to where we are today with that love. That's one of the reasons it's all over the place.

Absolutely. He may not have known us, but his fans knew him through movies, interviews, etc. I've grown up watching Fast and the Furious and it's what got me into cars.

I think it's pretty ignorant to say stuff like "Well if he wasn't famous no one would care." or "Dozens of people die in car crashes everyday." Yes, the reason we care is because he's famous. We wouldn't of known who he was if he wasn't in some of our favorite movies and it does make his death more significant, because he was an idol to the many kids who he inspired. Celebrities by definition are well-known so naturally they generate more reaction to their actions than a regular person. This doesn't mean they are better than anyone else, it's just their job. As for other "dozens of people" Why should someone you've never heard about have any impact on you?

Don't you think the NASCAR community had the right to grieve the loss of Dale Earnhardt Sr.? He didn't know any of his fans personally, yet millions grieved.

I remember first watching The Fast and The Furious years ago with my dad. Dad would be just as depressed as I am right now if he were still around today. Coincidentally, he died at the same age as Paul Walker.

That's what happens when you take your work home with you. Can't say I was a big fan of his work but I enjoyed the FnF movies I did watch.

So edgy...

There's his charity? But I doubt his family are in any dire need of money.

Edgy? How is it edgy not to understand completely irrational and self-gratifying behaviour? Or are you just using the Latest Buzzword?

YOLO!
