For the outpouring of great affection and benevolence from his fans and friends worldwide, Paul Walker's family is extremely grateful. Yet, they have asked for the donations to be made to Paul's charity "Reach Out Worldwide" (ROWW) instead of flowers or other offerings as tribute to make his memory alive forever through ROWW.
Paul Walker's death in a car accident hit the world as a bolt from the blue. Following his death a universal consensus had been formed that the 40-year-old actor was a magnanimous, modest, down-to-earth human who left an perpetual upbeat impression and carved a niche in the hearts of multitude of fans around the globe. He starting working with "The Fast & the Furious" in 2001 and he was still filming for the seventh film when he died in a tragic car accident. Paul has however not starred in "The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift"
Walker's best "Fast & Furious" scenes compilation in a 2-minute video as a homage has been posted to the "Fast & Furious" franchise's Facebook page. The moments have been taken from all five of his movies as Brian O'Conner and captioned as "In Loving Memory."
Whether you are die-hard fan of "Fast & Furious" series or not, the video has a bit for everyone. With the poignant song in the backdrop ("I'm coming home I'm coming home,Tell the World I'm coming home"), the video starts with Brian O'Conner's first rendezvous with Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel, he says "The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room,") in the first instalment of hit action franchise. Also, Mia (played by Jordana Brewster) becoming parents to son Jack in "Fast & Furious 6" can be seen in the video. Despite the fact that the video is bound to cause a waterfall of emotions, it is indeed a wonderful tribute that offers a visual and emotional treat to Walker fans.
Meanwhile, Universal Pictures has confirmed that production on "Fast & Furious 7" is on hold indefinitely as they sort out what to do-if anything-with the footage that's already been shot.
"Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers. At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise," said the studio in an announcement.
"We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker."

They have asked, in lieu of flowers or other gifts, that donations please be made to Paul's charity Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW).
