“Reflecting on my father, I found myself reflecting on his passions. His passion for the ocean, his passion for rescuing animals, his passion for helping people and his passion for spontaneous goodwill.

“I wanted to start this foundation because I want to share that piece of him with the world. I want to share that part of him with others. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my father,” Meadow wrote in an Instagram post.

Walker’s “Fast and Furious” co-stars Dwayne Johnson, Ludacris, and Nathalie Emmanuel paid him birthday tribute on social media.
