Leaving behind a difficult time for the loved ones, colleagues, and fans, Walker lost his life to a fatal accident, after going for a spin in his friend Roger Rodas’ 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The tragedy happened after Rodas lost control of the sports car and slammed into a tree causing both men to lose their lives.
