"The stories are true -- Paul Walker gave back in more ways than one during his lifetime. Remembrances of the late 40-year-old actor have been pouring in since his tragic death on Saturday, Nov. 30, and now another recipient of Walker&amp;apos;s kindness has come forward. According to one jewelry store sales associate, the Fast and the Furious star once bought an Iraqi vet&amp;apos;s fiancee an engagement ring -- in secret.\r\n\r\nSeveral years ago during the holiday season, the handsome actor walked into Bailey Banks and Biddle Jewelers in Santa Barbara, Calif., and witnessed a couple looking through engagement rings. After overhearing that a ring worth $10,000 was too expensive for them, Walker stepped in. See more pics of him here.\r\n&amp;quot;It was such a heartwarming story,&amp;quot; the sales associate, Irene King, recalled to CBS Los Angeles. According to King, Walker asked the store manager quietly to put the ring &amp;quot;on his tab.&amp;quot; He asked for the employees to keep his identity hidden, and walked out the door.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nAt the time, King realized it was the famous Hollywood hunk only after a fellow associate nudged her. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s Paul Walker,&amp;quot; her coworker said. &amp;quot;Oh, okay, yeah,&amp;quot; King recalled she replied back. &amp;quot;I said, &amp;apos;Yeah, he&amp;apos;s a nice-looking man.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nNice looking, and unusually generous and thoughtful. &amp;quot;To do something like that to a perfect stranger is just unbelievable,&amp;quot; King said. And as it turns out, the store did keep up their end of the bargain. The couple was never told who their benefactor was all those years ago -- until now.\r\n\r\n\r\nWalker was killed in a fiery crash in Southern California in a Porsche Carerra GT. The reported driver, his friend and business advisor, Roger Rodas, also died at the scene. Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughter Meadow; his father, Paul Walker III; his mother Cheryl Walker; his brothers Cody and Caleb; and his sister, Ashley.\r\nFor more on Walker&amp;apos;s most memorable moments during his life, his relationship with his daughter, and memories from those who loved him, pick up the new issue of Us Weekly."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
