Meadow Walker Posts Touching Message on Dad Paul Walker's Birthday

Originally appeared on E! Online

Meadow Walker is keeping her late dad Paul Walkerā€™s memory alive.

The Fast and Furious starā€™s only daughter marked what would have been his 51st birthday Sept. 12 with a touching message, remembering her father as her ā€œbest friend.ā€

ā€œI love and miss you so much every day,ā€ Meadow wrote in a social media post, alongside a throwback photo of her dad smiling and looking down at her as a child. ā€œThank you for everything. My forever guardian angel.ā€

The 25-year-old Meadow also used the day to unveil a special edition t-shirt featuring a vintage image of Paul on set of the Fast franchise, with the new merch benefiting a cause he cared for deeply during his lifetime.

ā€œBy purchasing this tee youā€™re not only honoring my fatherā€™s legacy but also supporting the Paul Walker Foundation Scholarship,ā€ she explained of the organization she founded in 2015 in his honor, ā€œempowering young minds dedicated to ocean conservation and environmental protection.ā€

The actorā€”who studied marine biology in collegeā€”died Nov. 30, 2013 in a fatal car crash. And in the years since, Meadow has made it her mission to keep his legacy going, including sharing memories like on the 10th anniversary of the tragic accident in 2023 when she shared a video of her surprising her dad, who is seen laughing and smiling as he pulls her in for a hug.

Sheā€™s also remained close with his Fast family, with his costar Vin Diesel walking her down the aisle at her 2021 wedding to Louis Thornton-Allan, from whom she is now separated. Meadow also officially joined the franchise by making a cameo appearance in 2023ā€™s Fast X.

And even in his absence, Meadow still feels his spirit in unique ways.

ā€œFor me, it's numbers, four and seven are my dad's favorite numbers," she told E! News in 2023. ā€œAnd I swear whenever I'm doubting anything or whenever I'm in an argument with someone or anything, I start seeing four and seven everywhere. So I always know that it's him.ā€
