Fast & Furious actor Paul Walker passed away 12 years ago on November 30 due to a car crash. Walker and Roger Rodas had just left a charity event called Reach Out Worldwide that was held for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, when the speeding 2005 Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a lamp post and caught fire. Both men passed away in the car.

12 years have passed, but Paul Walker is still remembered by his family and his Fast & Furious co-stars. Meadow Rain Walker was only 15 years old when her father passed away. Now, at 27, Meadow is an actress and a model. On Paul's 12th death anniversary, she shared photos of herself as a toddler next to Paul, who was holding a cake. She captioned the post:

"12 years without you… I love you forever"

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker's co-star in Fast & Furious, also took to Instagram to share two posts as a tribute to his late friend. The first post was a picture of the two of them together, Walker sitting on the steps, while Vin is looking down contemplatively. He wrote:

"Twelve years… Not a day goes by… Miss you."

The second post is possibly a photo from when they were on set from one of the Fast & Furious films. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel were in five of the Fast & Furious films. The two built a strong friendship over the course of their work. Vin wrote:

"The universe keeps placing angels in my path. I know you are a part of it… a brotherhood eternal. Love you forever…"
