Cody Walker: “Now is the right time”

“This November it’s been ten years since we lost my brother Paul and I felt like now was the right time,” Paul Walker’s brother said, adding, “It was important to me that this one name is carried on.” 24 hours after the birth of their third child with wife Felicia, the family decided on the touching name in memory of Paul Walker. The couple also have a five-year-old daughter and a two-and-a-half-year-old son.
