It’s been nearly six years since the world was forced to say goodbye to Paul Walker<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps best known for his work in the wildly popular Fast and the Furious<\/em> franchise, the actor tragically perished on November 30, 2013 at the age of 40, the passenger in a single-car crash. As he and friend Roger Rodas<\/strong> headed out to attend an event for Walker’s charity Reach Out Worldwide meant to benefit the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, Rodas’ Porsche Carrera GT, traveling at a speed determined to be between 80 and 93 mph in a 45 mph zone in Santa Clarita, Calif., slammed into a concrete lamp post and two trees, bursting into flames. Both bodies were, sadly, burned beyond recognition.<\/p>\n

As we celebrate what would’ve been Walker’s 46th birthday on Thursday, Sept. 12, we look back on the words his brothers Cody<\/strong> and Caleb Walker<\/strong> shared with E! News’ Melanie Bromley<\/strong>, ahead of last year’s release of I Am Paul Walker<\/em>, a documentary about their famous sibling, about how he’d want want to be remembered<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“He wasn’t really a formal kind of a guy\u2026knowing him he would just want you to be doing something fun that you enjoy doing with him,” Cody said. It’s not a day to be sad. He wouldn’t want you to be sad. He would just want you to be with family and friends.”<\/p>\n

Caleb added, “We’re just trying to live the life that Paul would want us to live. And just be happy and look forward.”<\/p>\n

In honor of the reluctant movie star’s birthday, let’s take a look back at his life\u2014a life well-lived, however brief it may have been\u2014in photos.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
