What makes it hurt even more is that we're so close to the 30th anniversary of MMPR..

In my opinion, this is the saddest death news I've ever heard because Power Rangers is nostalgic to me.

I really felt with Austin St. Jon. Because I had a friend like that whom I had a bad blood with for years for all the pettiest reasons, he passed away on a boat accident and I never got to say that I was sorry and never got the chance to bury the hatchet. Never had the chance to share snacks and drinks with him like we did when we were dumbass teens.

Rest in Peace JDF Once A Ranger Always A Ranger

First Thuy Trang, Then Pua magasiva now Jason Frank. May they rest in peace

R.I.P. Jason David Frank, you were my favorite ranger growing up. Your character inspired me to become a better man today. I hope u find peace. Once a ranger, always a ranger.

I've cried a lot since I heard his passing. My childhood hero. I remember as a kid watching mmpr every chance I could get because of him. I met him once in an airport during a layover for both of us. We talked a little but never got a photo with him because of time. Guess that photo will never happen now. I'm tearing up now thinking of that too. Great guy, didn't make a fuss with me talking to him. We didn't even acknowledge who he was til the end but we both knew I had recognized him though lol. I am making a plan to meet all the other rangers and get a photo with them all if possible. Austin St John, Walter Jones, David Yost, and Amy will be the ultimate goal for me. I couldn't get his but they were all my original heroes. Ah man it still hits hard.

He embraced the hell out of being a Power Ranger. RIP JDF.

Hearing that one of your childhood heroes killed themselves really hits differently then any other death i had to go through. Rest in peace Jason David frank thanks for contributing to my childhood and to society in general.

RIP Jason David Frank / Tommy Oliver / Doctor O. You're truly a legendary ranger. Once a ranger, always a ranger & may the power protect you. 😥😥😥😥😥😥

It’s so heartbreaking, thankfully I got the chance to meet JDF at a Comic-Con I attended in 2019, and I can certainly say that he was the sweetest guy I ever met. And to know he was suffering within just tears me apart. R.I.P. Jason. You were one of the greatest Rangers ever!

Idk what made Jason break, but it seems it could happen to anyone of us. Hope yall are doing ok. RIP Jason.

Tommy was my Favorite Character the Lesson I learned from his Arc where Rita had him under his Control is "No Matter How Far go Down the Wrong Road You can Always Turn Around", You taught me JDF that you can use your Power for Good & Be Source of Good & Radiate it Externally & Not be Haunted by your Past & Become Better from it R.I.P. "Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger & May the Power Always Protect you".

I was in a discord call with some friends when we heard the news. One of them literally said he wanted to be alone as this hit him really hard aswell as myself. Watching the original Power rangers was such a thrill and i won't lie, as a child I hated Jason due to him playing a evil character but as my mind realised actors played them not the real life story I became to respect him especially as he appeared in more series and such. Jason is a legend to my childhood and he will be missed... :(

Rest In Piece Legend

I will never get over the pain of this loss. I will always miss you Jason. I wish I met you. You were one of my idols and I hope God gave you a chance and welcomed you with open arms with your brother there too. I will meet you someday. I promise. When my time comes I hope you, Kevin, and all people and pets I lost and will lose one day will welcome me with open arms after I one day pass on of old age. Rest In Heavenly Peace Jason David Frank. May the power always protect you.

Jason Faunt's post hit me the hardest, I can tell they were good friends, but he shouldn't blame himself for what happened. At least JDF is in a better place now.

RIP original green ranger. You'll be missed. He will always be the best 6th ranger imo. No one can top him.

I met JDF at the Pennsylvania Convention center back in 2019. Such a wonderful man. It's hard to believe that it's been 2 years after his death. He'll always be a hero for all of us. A legendary Power Ranger. He may be gone, but we'll always remember him. RIP Jason. 😔

The new series should definitely honor him in some way. Make him part of the Rangers series from here on out. Never let anyone forgot about him..we the fans of the original crew will never let go of "Tommy" he is and will forever be the leader of our Power rangers. I hope hes resting and did find peace. I pray his children find that peace tbet need to cope with this.

His Wife should be ashamed of herself.

He was so dedicated to his character and role that he took it seriously and thats what made him the best power ranger.

I’ve never cared about a celebrity dying. Why should I? They didn’t affect my life any……JDF did…..he was my hero and my inspiration

It really sucks how he went out. That's what hurts the most. Sigh I pray that he made things right with God before he passed

Still mourning him 😢 a hero a mentor someone who gave us a reason to admire him for being a wonderful human being please if your suffering or know someone that's suffering please get help or help them and may the power protect you JDF R.I.P forever

I lost myself quiet a time ago, i was just thinkin live was worthless, i became selfish and angry to everyone else, stopped doing sports, started smokin, a lot of stuff like that the nice boy i was was gone the strenght i had too, but jasons death remembered me some stuff, he remembered me about who i wanted to be and what my goals where when i was young, maybe we should all try to get power FROM this hard time (i mean the grieving time about his death) like he is up there without any pain chearing us up and stuff, smiling down and tell us we can do it, RIP JDF and may the Power Protect you, always!

I hate to be learning about this now but JDF was a man who I was amazed by, a man who was an icon to numerous people , a man who brought sarcasm, laughter and happiness into all our hearts. JDK may be gone from this world but he will always be within our hearts.....Always. RIP&P (Rest In Peace & Power) Jason David Frank 💚

rip to the one and only true green/white ranger. Your legacy will not be forgotten JDF.

A channel called TheFanClub563 posted a poem, a short titled "Jason David Frank was fighting demons. Yet every day still showed up for the fans," that was narrated by JDF. I don't know the name of the poem, but it hit hard. Here is my response: This...hits harder than it should. I felt his pain, because it is a pain I know all too well. It has been said that a man can have no greater enemy than himself. That when a man fights the battles of the warzone in his own mind, the enemy he faces is one...of himself. It is that part of his mind that knows everything about him. That condemns him...without cause. It is that part of the mind that is the very inherent darkness that resides within each of us. If a man has two sides, one good and the other evil, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, each can be compared to starving wolves. The question becomes, which will you feed? Which will prosper, and grow? And which one, will you cage deep within your own mind. It is that dark nature that we have, that tries to show us as guilty in the real world. That points a finger at us, accusingly, and claims we are guilty, because we have offended, even in a small way. Yet in the warzone of the mind, those inner demons can grow, and grow, and grow...to the point where they seem impossible to beat. To overcome. That they are insurmountable. Yet it is with a weapon as sharp as a katana that the man in pain fights these demons. That he tries to put them down...for good. Only to have them rise again. And so, the pain-filled man keeps fighting the battles within his own mind, never vocalizing, even masking, that which he faces. And to those around him, should they never speak to him in wonder, then his social camouflage holds. Yet eventually, after enough time, the burden the pain-filled man carries becomes evident...if you know of the signs to look for. For there is no greater hope for the pain-filled man, in his darkest hours, in his darkest days, that what he desires most is to show his pain to others, and have that pain be transformed into love. To the pain-filled man, that act of selfless love is the light in the dark he hopes and yearns for. Yet, for many, that light, and that love, only gets shown after the pain-filled man loses his battle, his war, with the inner demons of his own mind. And you, dear reader, should you ever suspect that you know of a pain-filled man, willingly take that pain from him, and give him the love he so desperately needs. Because too often, we never realize, in our own lives, how close the pain-filled man is, or what he means to us, until it is too late. One friend, at the right time, can save a life. Jason, I just wish you could have found a friend in your darkest hour that night, when your demons were at their strongest and you needed help the most. I know the darkness you were in all too well...I just wish someone could have known you were hurting, and let you know you were not alone. Though I watched you as a kid, I never got the chance to meet you in person. Despite this, I wish I could have hung out with you, if only for a time, just so you knew that you were not alone in the dark. Yet the swarming, blackened rising claimed your life, and claimed your soul, because you lost the battle with your inner demons...and now you are gone. Gone much too soon. Rest easy, Tommy. You are now forever part of the Morphing Grid. We are forever grateful to you for raising and inspiring an entire generation. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger. May the Power protect you in the next life. You will never be forgotten. RIP Jason David Frank 1973-2022

I cried...and I couldn't control the many times I cried hearing his death,he treated his fans like family and cared for the ones he loved,but he's with thuy trang now..may the power protect him always...💔

Once a ranger, always a ranger David Jason Frank, Thanks for giving us a wonderful and perfect childhood, you will be deeply missed, we love you forever ❤️

The 40th anniversary would be nothing without him made my childhood even tho I didn't watch much of the series he was in may he rest. In. Peace. Jason you left us too early

Rest in Peace Jason David Frank!! The greatest Ranger of them all!! I'm definitely missing you bro 😢

The Walter Jones post hurts the most

Rest In Peace JDF Once A Ranger Always A Ranger.

rip jdf it is nice to see all of them coming together, i hope that david is really going to push for the reunion he has been working on. in a honor to him and trini RIP both of them once a ranger always a ranger.

I was scared to tell anyone this but I grew up watching power rangers and this really hurts me “Once a ranger always a ranger” 😢

I M NOT READY TO LET HIM IN GO PFF HE IS REALLY GONE😢 THANK YOU JASON FOR MAKING OUR CHILDHOOD ❤❤

I still can't believe that he is unlive.

It still hurts when he passed away 💔😢😭

The first thing I did when I heard this was cry for 2 hours straight. I couldn't believe my favorite ranger had died. I wasn't born when the show came out, but my mom (who was 8yrs old when it came out)suggested I watch this. I fell in love with it instantly. Its still, and will forever be one of the greatest shows I've ever known. May the power protect him, always❤

His family has my sympathy for their loss

He’s free he’s now with his brother but we must never lose hope all we can do now is pray for Jason David Frank when the next new power rangers series comes out do it for him ❤❤🙏

He is one of the big contributing factors for me watching the new rangers stuff still today. His cameo's were always such a treat. I'll miss him in the future of the series. Hopefully we get to see that Green suit one last time in some send off. RIP Jason. Childhood hero.

Sometimes I wish this is all a bad dream.......I wish he was still with us........but, this is the heartbreaking reality we face. To anyone and everyone struggling with depression, know that you are NEVER alone. There are people out there who love and care for you. Rest in Peace, JDF. We'll never forget you. May the Power protect you, always.

Don't give up everyone, or we'll let Rita Repulsa win. Stay strong. RIP Tommy.

I wonder if the 30th anniversary will do a classy move and put a tribute to maybe some of the actors that have passed from the franchise. That would really hit the heart strings at the end.

R.I.P Jason David Frank I hope you are doing good in heaven we lost another OG classic Power Ranger

Rest In Peace Jason David Frank. you will forever be in our hearts 💚🤍❤️🖤

I am still shocked that he left too soon.....Thanks for making my childhood memory able RIP JDF

The fact I even teard up and started to cry reading all there responses Says alot about I much I loved the actors character and the series Green MMPR, Red Turbo, Red Zeo, Black Dino thunder and lastly White MMPR you will be deeply missed by 😪😔

He Will Live Forever In Ranger Legend RIP May The Power Protect You

I think I've watched every video made so far.. I've commented on a few that hit me the hardest..but I never heard Amy's song until now..and man.. My dad died last spring, and I never felt this type of pain since then

When I woke up I got on my phone on Facebook when I saw it I was like screaming what!? No! It really hit my stomach and my chest. RIP Jason David Frank 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I remember watching power rangers with my son when he was little. He loved the show. JDF was his favorite ranger. May you rest in peace always.

Even though I haven’t watched a lot of Power Rangers, I’m glad I watched the og show, Zeo, and Dino Thunder

That the fact i grow watching him hurts more

I will never forget him!!!!

I just wish I got to meet him and give him the mightiest hug I could muster.

As someone who grew up with him as Dr. O, the Dino Thunder posts hit me in a fragile spot. Bracio Power Forever 🖤

Never thought he would be able to end his own life. He always advocated "Jesus Didn't Tap." He must've been in so much pain.

Once a ranger forever a ranger. I'll never forget watching him on TV

He is my childhood idol in 2004.

It has been a very hard time since November. I was logged out of my account and my system was down for a long while. Just got this fixed. This is a very well done collection of messages and videos. That scene with JYB is somewhat disturbing. Otherwise thought this was very well done! Lots of beautiful and kind messages. This was very hard to deal with. Thank you for putting this together and sharing it with us! This seems to have hit many fans very hard. My condolences to everyone else on here and to his family! There’s a lot that still needs to be figured out. One thing I personally stand by is that I was more connected to Tommy’s later adventures. I also once had my own similar experience to the breakup story. A girl who I was really close with chose my friend over me. After that happened I saw the story in Zeo as a more important story. I’m sure fans will disagree with me sometimes but at heart I’m going to always say that I am a Tommy and Katherine fan. However my respect goes out to all the different fans out there. No matter what you’re a fan of and no matter what troubles you are dealing with connected to this, I got your back and I support you. I respect everyone here! Rest in Power JDF! 💚💚💚😢😢😢🐉🐅. (Please note couldn’t find a bengal tiger on the emoji screen. So I put in a regular one instead). Thank you again for making this!

I cried nonstop after hearing about his passing

Rest in peace Jason David frank

Lets NEVER FORGET THIS! He is up there with the og yellow ranger im sorry i forgot her name rest in piece of both they will be missed. i like to think they are fighting Lord zed up there for positive thinking

2 Rangers down 💛💚😢😔

This was beautiful. Still heartbroken after all this.

When Jason said once a ranger always a ranger I couldn’t hold in my tears, you guys were a part of a legacy that really shaped a lot of children into adults, especially the kids that needed to learn to stand up for what’s right. It was a job but it became a legacy rip to another one of our heroes

Jason was and is still my favorite power ranger in the show. 😢😢😢

R.I.P Green ranger in mighty morphin. Such losing without you😢

Rest in peace Jason David Frank❤ I remember first seeing you on power rangers and thinking, wow this guy is amazing. I’m at a loss for words and i just hope you will be resting peacefully now😭❤

Will never be Same with out Jason

this was so sad to hear about I just couldn't believe it when I saw it on the news on tv such a nice person and when I was a kid in the 90's watching power rangers R.I.P JD we miss u buddy

he made every generations childhood..

When you go through life knowing that one of your mentors is murdered in cold blood and then your idol commits suicide.. it really puts you at a crossroads, this shit hurt worst than any celebrity death, JDF taught me what being a leader and a roll model was all about. And I’m still pissed to this day I didn’t take that day to see him at Mall of America just to finally be able to say thank you for teaching me how to be a better person. So many words can’t express how I felt about the day I heard of his passing, it still saddens me. Dude was like the father figure I never had even though it was through a screen, I still learned valuable lessons from him, and some kickass karate moves. RIP JDF 🙏🏽

Wow. Even the stars from Post Zordon era power rangers, are sad that they lost their idol.

Rip JDF🥺😭😔😞now u & trinity will reunite 😩😫

Rest in peace tommy we will all miss you a and you were my idol to me you were and will always be my hero may the power protect you and lol just like T’Challa said “death is not always the end it’s more of a stepping off point” once again may the power protect you tommy ITS MORPHING TIME!!! 👊🏻✊🏻🤜🏻💚💚

It really does hurt that JDF is gone

I was in shock when I read he died. I thought it was fake but then I looked it up. JDF was an awesome tommy Oliver. Also let me say Amy jo Johnson has a beautiful voice and we all know she sang that song for jdf

RIP Jason David Frank You were my hero from childhood even I was not born in 1993 I was born in 2007 but still I love your contribution to the power rangers You inspired millions people will remember you that JDF was the green, white,red and black ranger. You are the soul of power rangers and will always remain. May your soul rest in peace. I still remember your morph call. MMPR - #Dragonzord #Tigerzord #Whiterangerpower Zeo - #ZeoRanger5Red Turbo - #Shiftintoturbo Dino thunder - #Dinothunderpowerup RIP Jason David Frank you will always remain in our hearts

He inspired me to become a fire fighter and help people now that my hero is gone things are different

😔 🙏

I truly hope god can forgive him and welcome him into his paradise god must know the good he did and how many of us look up to him as our heroes I truly believe god will forgive because he someone who is special very kind I remember when I saw about his death just woke up and saw the sad news truly cried all day the only celebrity worth crying too a true hero

I have watched every single power rangers and my favourites where all the ones with Jason David frank so RIP to the yin yang ranger 😭🥺😌

I tried holding in my tears.

RIP Jason David Frank he is one of my favorite black ranger from Dino thunder. He should have been in power rangers dino charge so they can team up with dino thunder. So sad that he is gone along with Pua Magasiva, Lothor, Trini and others as well.

Has it really already been an entire year? Still hurts like I only just found out today. Rest easy Jason, May the Power Protect You 💙😔

*'Rangers, Forever!'*

He was such a good guy why did he have to do that we will miss him soon very much I love you man you will be missed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I hope...one day in the future in another life we find someone who gave off his soul, his humor everything about him. He may be one of a kind but FFS WHY DID WE HAVE TO LOSE A GOOD MAN!? I DUNNO WHO TO BLAME! It hurts...It hurts to lose someone I wanted to meet in the future so I could see him as a friend and as a hero. We all who have grown up watching power rangers will miss him from the gen before gen z to Gen-Z and any future gens who watched it. May a man who saw his fans as friends rest in peace even if it heart breaks the many who loved and saw him as a inspiration and a hero when home felt unsafe and may the men in this world find a true loving woman who will not hurt them or break them down but pick them up when they are down and support them in all ideas they have as long as they all listen to eachother and work on it together. One a ranger always a ranger, rangers forever. Rest in peace JDF a king who didn't need to go as soon as he did on Novmber 19th-20th 2022..May we meet you again in another life 😔💕

You know they should make an episode with no music, all the rangers coming together to honor the loss of the legend and passing down his master morpher to his next of kin. Nothing would be more heart warming then seeing his child get his morpher

I'm starting to wonder if the original actors playing OhRed, Kibaranger, and AbareBlack have something to say about the passing of JDF.

I miss you Jason and Frank

I mean, at least some of the rangers who have died (like thuy trang and pua magasiva, etc) will get to see the legend himself as well

Jason and David looked like kids in 1:20 but of course JDF was like 19 or 20 in that picture and David Yost was like 24.

I hope for reaction from Super Sentai actors, especially from Zyuranger casts (Izumi has did it, waiting for the rest)

Rest in peace
