• The daughter of “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker was 15 when her father tragically died at the age of 40.
• Meadow Walker severed all ties with her late father’s family but found protection and support from her godfather, Vin Diesel.
• A decade after Walker’s death, 55-year-old Diesel emotionally talks about his goddaughter and late friend.

In the late 1990s, before Paul Walker skyrocketed to fame with “Fast and Furious,” he fell head over heels for elementary school teacher Rebecca Soteros. Their love blossomed, and on November 4, 1998, Meadow Rain Walker entered their lives. Paul’s parents said that no father loved his child as much as their son did. The doting dad chose his fellow protagonist Dominic Toretto in the “Fast and Furious” franchise, Vin Diesel, to be Meadow’s godfather, cementing their bond forever.
