Everyone knows the name Paul Walker, the late actor and heartthrob of the Fast & Furious franchise. Yet, the Walker family name continues to be a powerful force in Hollywood and beyond, thanks in part to his younger brother, Cody Walker. While Cody has stepped into the spotlight to honor his brother’s legacy, many people wonder about his other siblings. Who are they, and what exactly do they do?
The Walker family is a close-knit group of five siblings, each of whom has found their own unique path in life. This article takes a closer look at the people behind the famous last name.
A Family of Five: Who Are the Walker Siblings?
Paul Walker, born in 1973, was the second oldest of the five children. The eldest is their sister, Amie Walker, followed by Ashlie Walker, then Paul, then Caleb, and finally, the youngest, Cody. Each sibling has pursued different interests, but a common thread of family and dedication runs through everything they do.
Their parents, Cheryl (a former fashion model) and Paul Walker III (a sewer contractor and amateur boxer), instilled in them a strong sense of family and community.
Caleb Walker: Carrying on a Legacy
Caleb Walker, born in 1977, is another of the brothers who became a familiar face to fans after Paul’s tragic passing. He, along with Cody, famously stepped in as a body double and stand-in to help complete Paul’s final scenes in Furious 7. This was a profoundly emotional and difficult experience, but it also became a powerful way for them to heal and honor their brother.
Beyond his role in the Fast & Furious world, Caleb has carved out a successful career as a restaurateur. He is the owner of multiple Chronic Tacos locations in Southern California, a venture his brother Paul helped him establish. He and his wife, Stephanie Branch, also have a son named Maverick Paul Walker, a beautiful tribute to the late actor.
The Walker Sisters: Ashlie and Amie
While the brothers have received more public attention due to their involvement with the Fast & Furious franchise, the Walker sisters are just as accomplished. Ashlie Walker, born in 1976, has been a pillar of the family and was instrumental in the documentary I Am Paul Walker, where she shared fond memories of her brother. Her background is in psychology and she works as a life coach, focusing on helping people with self-healing and personal growth. She uses her expertise in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy to empower women to overcome limitations and live a life filled with purpose.
The eldest sibling, Amie Walker, prefers to keep a low profile. While not much is publicly known about her career, sources indicate she has dedicated her life to being an educator.
Cody Walker: From Paramedic to Philanthropist
The youngest of the Walker clan, Cody Walker, has perhaps the most diverse career path. Before he ever stepped in front of a camera, he was a licensed paramedic, a testament to his passion for helping others. His life took an unexpected turn after his brother’s passing when he and Caleb were approached to finish filming Furious.
That experience opened the door to a new career in acting, with roles in films like USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage and The Last Full Measure. He has also taken the helm as the CEO of his brother’s charity, Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW). This non-profit organization provides first responders to disaster areas, carrying on Paul’s legacy of humanitarian work. Cody and his wife, Felicia Knox, are also co-founders of FuelFest, a car show that celebrates car culture while raising funds for ROWW. The couple has two children, a daughter born in 2017 and a son born in 2020, and are expecting a third child in late 2025.
The Walker siblings, with their diverse careers and unwavering commitment to their family’s legacy, have truly captured the hearts of many. They continue to keep Paul’s memory alive, not just through film and charity, but through the enduring bond they share.
CONCLUSION
Despite facing unimaginable loss, the Walker family’s story is one of resilience and unity. Cody, Caleb, Ashlie, and Amie have not only honored Paul’s memory but have also forged their own impactful paths. They are living proof that the powerful bonds of family can endure, even through the most challenging times, leaving a legacy far beyond the silver screen.
