Last Sunday, thousands of car enthusiasts gathered in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles to pay homage to Paul Walker as well as his professional racer friend who passed away on November 30.

Cars and motorcycles each bearing a heartfelt message lined the streets of Santa Clarita. The memorial rally likewise included vehicles which the 40-year-old actor used in his famous film 'Fast and Furious'. Walker played the role of Brian O' Connor in the adrenaline-filled film franchise.

Preparations for the funeral are ongoing although the 'Into the Blue' star's family has not yet confirmed the date. "They want to make sure that everyone who wants to mourn will be together and all schedules match. They hopefully will have more of an idea next week," claims a source to Hollywood Life.

Walker's costars specifically Vin Diesel have expressed their devastation upon finding out about the actor's death. Diesel said that he considered Walker not just a film colleague but also his "brother". Tyrese Gibson is likewise assisting Walker's family in making funeral arrangements. Last week, he was spotted crying at the site of Walker's car crash.

The 'Hours' actor died on the spot when the Porsche Carrera GT being driven by his friend struck a utility pole and burst into flames. According to the Los Angeles county coroner's autopsy, Walker died of "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries" whereas the death of Rodas can be accounted to "multiple traumatic injuries."

The makers of 'Fast and Furious' similarly released a memorial video for Walker which highlighted his blissful moments in the film series which started in 2001. In just five days, the video has garnered more than 24 million views.

Producers of the street racing action film have not yet confirmed how they will finish the film with Walker's death.
