The younger brother of late actor Paul Walker told People in a recent interview that he hopes to continue his brother’s legacy of philanthropy—something the Fast and Furious star was passionate about, but wasn’t necessarily known for.
Walker died in a car crash in November 2013 when he was 40 years old, leaving behind not just family, friends and fans, but a humanitarian relief organization that he had founded in the wake of the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010. Now, Cody Walker aims to follow in his footsteps, taking on the role of brand manager at Reach Out Worldwide, or ROWW.
“Aside from acting, his daughter and ROWW were the most important things in his life, hands down,” the 26-year-old said. “”He was very proud of ROWW and the incredible people he had surrounded himself to make up that team. I’m just doing the best that I can to keep his vision consistent.”
