Late actor Paul Walker will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year, a decade after his death. He will be posthumously honored alongside actors Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn, and musician Lenny Kravitz.

At 40 years old, the "Fast and Furious" actor died in a car accident in 2013. Paul's look-alike brothers, Caleb and Cody, who were crushed by his loss, did something extraordinary to honor his memory.

WHO IS CODY WALKER? MEET PAUL WALKER'S YOUNGER BROTHER, WHO IS ALSO A PROMISING ACTOR

Cody Walker is the oldest of the two surviving brothers, born on June 13, 1988, in Los Angeles, California, and is an ex- Paramedic. He has a part in two documentaries in honor of his late brother; "In Memory of Paul: Car Show 2018" and "The Fast Family at Fuel Fest," as well as the "Furious."

In 2015, he revealed that he wanted to start a full-time acting career, and in that same year managed to land a role in the movie "Indianapolis: Men of Courage."

Cody married Felicia Knox on August 15, 2015, sadly after Paul had passed away, and he has since stated that this was a brutal reality for him to accept. The married couple also has a little boy Colt Knox Walker and a little girl. In an Instagram post for his little girls' 2nd birthday, he wrote:

"Each passing week I get a little softer. I can’t believe she’s about to turn 2! I feel like I just brought her home from the dealership."

Aside from his children, Cody is practically a father to his beloved dogs. When he is not working, he spends a lot of time with them, taking them on outings and snapping many Instagram photos.

Caleb said that taking up Paul's role in the hit franchise while also getting to know his co-stars, including Diesel and Gibson, who became their close friends, was therapeutic. Caleb said:

"We got to understand more about Paul and what he was all about."

Cody and Caleb, who have their own families, have been focused on continuing their late brother's humanitarian efforts since Paul's death and taking over his part in the "Fast and Furious" franchise.

Cody and his wife, Felicia, have been serving for Reach Out Worldwide, an organization founded by Paul before his death that provides first responders to communities in need.

Caleb has followed in Paul's footsteps in the entertainment world. He is an actor and producer of "The Ultimate Sacrifice" (2012) and the 2018 documentary "I Am Paul Walker."

PAUL WALKER ALSO HAD TWO SISTERS: MEET ASHLIE AND AMIE WALKER

Paul has two sisters - Ashlie and Amie Walker. Like Paul, Ashlie is an actress, best known for her roles in "Jack Said" (2009), "Glamour Dolls" (2016), and "Burnside" (2000). She was born on April 5, 1984, in London, England.

Ashlie had previously denied that Paul was drag racing before his fatal accident. She reacted after police said they had received eyewitness statements that the sportscar Paul and his friend were riding in was "traveling alone at a high rate of speed."

Ashlie dismissed the rumors as "irresponsible allegations." Like Ashlie, Amie grieved the death of their beloved brother. Amie, older than Ashlie, appears to live a private life away from the public eye.
