Gibson laid a flower at the site where Walker died in a fiery car crash on Saturday.
Rodas, 38, was driving a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with the actor after attending a charity event for their foundation, Reach Out Worldwide, when the vehicle flew off the road and hit a tree. Authorities believe speed was a factor.

The actor was visibly emotional as he stood with fans at the crash site. ‘At least I got to say I love you,’ Gibson wrote in a Facebook message later.
The blond, blue-eyed movie star and his companion were said to be burned "beyond recognition," and a coroner will reportedly delay autopsies until identification is made using dental records, a rep from the Los Angeles County coroner's office told TMZ.
