Diesel reminisced about the time they spent together, particularly a moment before their trip to Haiti to assist with relief efforts after the devastating 2010 earthquake. He described the photo as capturing the instant when he knew they would be brothers forever.
“For me, this picture represents the moment I knew we would be brothers for eternity,” Diesel wrote. “January 2010, the night before you and I went to Haiti… the passion and joy you had to simply help people. You said first responders shouldn’t have to wait for anyone… and that you wanted to dedicate your life to that. First responders… that was your true self, and you were sharing it with me, your brother. Haha. To this day, I imagine if you looked up ‘first responder’ in the dictionary, there would be a picture of you.”
Diesel also expressed how Walker’s dedication to helping others would have likely prevented them from celebrating his 50th birthday in a traditional way, as he would have been off in another part of the world assisting those in need.

The post concluded with Diesel expressing his love for Walker and vowing to continue honoring his memory. Walker tragically passed away in a car accident at the age of 40 in November 2013.
Walker’s daughter, Meadow Walker Thornton-Allan, also shared a touching tribute on Instagram, posting a photo of herself as a child with her father. She expressed gratitude for his love, guidance, and for instilling in her a sense of kindness and respect for others.
