It’s hard to believe Paul Walker tragically died more than a decade ago.
Sunday, Nov. 27 officially marked 12 years since the beloved Fast & Furious actor died at age 40.
To pay tribute to her late father, Meadow Walker took to social media on Sunday and shared a series of adorable throwback photos of the two of them — accompanied by a short and bittersweet message.
“12 years without you… I love you forever,” the caption of Meadow’s Instagram post reads.
Fans flooded the comments section of Meadow’s post with red and blue hearts galore to show their support of the Walker family — which has also been supported by Paul’s co-star and dear friend Vin Diesel over the years.
Stories about Diesel, 58, stepping in for Walker’s family during important moments — like walking Meadow, 27, down the aisle — help paint a picture of how deep their bond ran. Their relationship was not just a Hollywood partnership — it carried into their personal lives.
It’s no surprise, then, that Diesel also took to Instagram on Sunday to pay tribute to Paul, posting a candid-looking photo of the two of them in a stairwell.
“Twelve years… Not a day goes by… Miss you,” the caption of Diesel’s post reads.
Diesel and Paul first teamed up in The Fast and the Furious in 2001, where Walker played Brian O’Conner, an undercover cop who enters the world of Dominic Toretto (Dieel) and street racing. The movie started a partnership that turned into one of Hollywood’s most memorable action duos.
Paul died in 2013 after he was involved in a single-vehicle car crash in California. Meadow, whom Paul shared with Rebecca Soteros, was 15 at the time.
Meadow has honored her dad’s legacy over the years, Us Weekly reports, founding the Paul Walker Foundation, which aims to “continue to do the work that Paul started,” per the organization’s website.
