Fernanda Calfat—Getty Images by [People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## People Contributor Dec 1, 2014 12:47 AM UTC It’s been a year since Paul Walker [died in a tragic auto accident](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20816152,00.html) Nov. 30, 2013. Immediately after the news broke, tributes poured in from all over as friends, family and costars shared memories of their time with Walker. And even a year later, memories of the late actor are still fresh in people’s minds. “I am so lucky to have had him as a big brother,” Walker’s younger brother Cody, 26, told the [_New York Daily News_ via email Wednesday](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/paul-walker-remembered-year-tragic-death-article-1.2027151). Cody spoke of Reach Out Worldwide, a charity Walker was highly involved with, and the work it did this year in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan and Arkansas after April’s devastating tornadoes in the region. “This year has been very challenging but also extremely rewarding,” he said. “Just live your life to the fullest. Laugh a lot, love and find your true happiness,” Cody – who, along with other brother Caleb, [filled in as a body double for Walker’s remaining scenes](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20807344,00.html) in the most recent _Fast and Furious_ film – said when asked what lessons people should take from his brother’s life. “Remember that no matter how cool you think you may be, you’re not cool enough to look down on anyone … ever.” Walker’s father, Paul Walker III, told _Entertainment Tonight_ that this time of year is doubly tough, with the holidays coinciding with the anniversary of his son’s death. “I’m missing him more now, the last month. It’s not getting any better for me.” “It’s a sad time. We’re a very close, loving family, and Paul is a piece that’s missing now, that we’re always going to miss,” he continued. Walker’s _Fast and Furious_ costar [Tyrese](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20775733,00.html) posted this tribute on Instagram.
