R.I.P Paul Walker

The fast and furious movies were actually some of my favorite too ='[. The irony is quite unsettling and unpleasant.
 
This guy was truly a nice human being:

I very rarely post about celebrities. In general because I don't particularly care much about their lives. But tonight I'm making an exception because I just heard a really nice story about Paul Walker. He’s the actor from “Fast and Furious” who was killed a horrible car crash. In 2004 Walker was in a jewelry store in Santa Barbara. Kristen and Kyle Upham were also there shopping. Kristen says what happened that day is something she will never forget. "It's still to this day the most generous thing anyone has ever done for me." Kristen and Kyle were in the store looking for a wedding ring. She says Kyle kept wanting to look at bigger rings, “and I kept saying, 'No look at the prices.'" The ring they were looking at was $10,000. It was way too expensive for them. As they were shopping they recognized Walker and struck up a conversation with him. Kyle told Walker that he had just returned from his first tour of duty in Iraq. "When he found out Kyle had just come back, I remember seeing the look in his (Paul Walker’s) face, it kind of transformed." Kristen and Kyle eventually left the store without buying the ring. But after they walked out, the store clerk called them and said they needed to come back. Kristen says, "One of the ladies came out holding a bag and just simply said, 'Here's your ring. I think both of our mouths dropped." Paul Walker had secretly told the store that he wanted to buy the ring for them. The store clerk says, "He called the manager over and said, 'The ring that those people were looking at, put it on my tab.'" He also told the store not to tell them who paid for it. Kristen and her husband were completely blown away. "I think after a couple of minutes of shell shock it finally sunk in and we were like, 'Well how, who bought it? She (the store clerk) just smiled at me and said it was better not to say." After Walker’s death the jewelry store clerk went public with the story. Kristen and Kyle said they always suspected that Walker bought it for them. Now they know for sure. Unfortunately they'll never get a chance to thank Paul Walker in person.

He was definitely my favorite character on FF series besides Vin Diesel, makes me sad that he passed away..

Since we're on this topic nobody gives a shit about the guy who died with him...

R.I.P to both of them.

Roger Rodas, his friend, biz partner, and financial advisor. They were both experienced drivers. :(
 
I Not trying to troll of be an ass... It makes me sick knowing that brave men and women who die in service to their country don't get jack as far as press or something as simple as listing the names and faces of those lost... The ONLY publication that at least acknowledges that ultimate sacrifice is the ARMY times... The man died a celebrity and will be immortalized by the press and his fans... I had brothers in arms that lost their lives feet from me, they will be remembered by a few treasured loved ones and battle brothers... I hope we all get to die doing something we love or something we believe in... I am happy that he was able to die doing something he loved and was known for... Go ahead and give me a thumbs down or whatever negative thing you want... My relationship with death I guarantee is very different then most of you would care to understand

RIP Paul Walker

gasper, no worries brah. I think you bring up a good point. I admire Paul Walker as an actor and what he did for charity. However it is easy to do this because of all the fame and accomplishments he did in his life. sadly,as you pointed out, we don't give the same amount of attention for those "real" heroes who are or have put their lives on the line so that we have the freedom to watch movies like F&F, etc. Thanks for reminding us who the true heroes are in our society!
