It's been nearly 10 years since Paul Walker tragically died at the age of 40 in a car crash, but his brother Cody is keeping the late actor's memory alive. As seen in People, Cody Walker and his wife Felicia have named their newborn son Paul, in honor of the fallen star of "Fast & Furious". Paul Barrett (“Bear”) Walker was born late last month.

"This November will mark 10 years since we lost my brother, Paul, and I just felt that now was the right time. My brother, Paul, was Paul William Walker IV and that name goes back four generations. Within the family, it went from ' Little Paul' or 'Paul 4', although he soon surpassed our father in stature. It was important to me that this name continued."
