Year in review: Paul Walker and six other inspirational people who died too soon
Paul Walker, 40, had been acting since childhood. His movie roles gave the Glendale native material success.
But a few years ago, after an earthquake in Haiti, Walker made another decision. He assembled a group of first-responders, “taking a team there, out of his own pocket,” said a spokesman for what became a quick-response first-aid organization.
Walker later traveled to the scenes of other natural disasters, in addition to writing checks. Added the spokesman: “He didn’t want anyone to know he was there. All he wanted was a chainsaw, point him in the right direction -- he wanted to go to work.”
