Kind of ironic that the star of the Fast and the Furious series of movies was killed in a drag racing car crash involving a modified sports car. Perhaps this was how he would have wanted to go.
Yea, this is too bad, he seemed like a genuinely cool dude - I was impressed when I found out he had a legitimate interest in marine biology and volunteered his time and money to further research on great whites.
It’s kind of weird to think about “people I went to school with who died”, but traffic accidents are probably the #1 most probable way to go at this age. I know one guy who died in a crash involving Nissan Skyline and motorcycles, which sounds a lot like the actual plot of Fast and the Furious, but is actually quite tragic, since he was a pretty nice guy.
I didn’t know who he was and it’s obvious that many people liked him. However, I am surprised no one brought up the fact that at 33 he started dating a 16 yo. Seems very creepy.
