JDF embodied, at least to me, the phrase: "Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger." Rest in peace.

I'm 37. I'm crying at work. Wtf? He was my hero. RIP. Jason . We will miss you forever.

First Kazuki Takahashi, then Kevin Conroy and now this. I'm losing my childhood heroes. May the power always protect him.

This one hits hard. Peak fitness, loved his work, a hero to a generation of kids and adults. You never really know what’s going on in someone’s head. As soon as I heard the news i immediately thought “what chance do the rest of us have” I think he was one of the few celebrities that legitimately cared about his fans. I wish the best for his family and close friends and as cliche as this sounds hope he finds peace.

Rip Tommy Oliver, you are a legend, you were the greatest power ranger of all time.

The hope and inspiration he spread in life is greater than his passing. His legacy is gilded in gold, a Green Candle of Good that will never burnout, a beacon lighting the darkness. Rest in Power to the Greatest Ranger there ever was and ever will be.

It is hard to believe that Jason David Frank, the man who played Tommy Oliver, the original 6th ranger, has passed away. He was definitely one of the best power ranger actors of all time and I will miss him, as will many power rangers fans. It's sad to see that he's gone.😢

Rest In Peace Jason David Frank... You Truly Are The Definitive Power Ranger (1973-2022)

HEROS GET REMEMBERED BUT LEGENDS NEVER DIE 💚🐲💚🤍🐯🤍🤍🦅🤍❤⭐❤❤🚘❤🖤🦕🖤 Keep him alive in our hearts...

IF it was suicide, it just goes to show it doesn't matter how tough someone may seem, be it mentally or physically, it can happen to any of us. We just got to look out for each other

When I saw the news I didn’t believe it. But he’s lost so much over the years. Brother, parents, daughter in law, and then his wife. I met him once, generally super happy guy. But you never know what people are going through. One of his last videos about leaving a legacy behind…I think he knew he was going to end it. Just wish he got the help he needed. So sad.

I met him last year. I tried to tell him about my cat, who had passed away his name was Saba, but his assistant advised against it because she said he carries pain. I wanted to tell him so much about the impact that his character had on me. The fact that his first arc was the very first time I've understood redemption. Because of that, I now give people all the chances to do better. I just wish these people would reach out to us. Let us know, just something.

RIP Jason David Frank "Tommy Oliver." He is now one with the Morphin Grid. May the Power protect him. And may the Power protect you, Sixth Ranger.

I was such a sick kid growing up and i felt powerless and i always had power rangers to pull me through watching those old and new episodes gave me the strength to bounce back he tought me to never give up and i never have he inspired me to learn how to fight rest easy ledgend you fought well and proudly thank you for everything once a ranger always a ranger may the power protect you thank you for everything rest easy tommy greatest ranger in power rangers history

This one hit me hard. I met him at a con here in Puerto Rico and he was super cool. We had a nice conversation about martial arts since I have a background in it as well. He signed my funko pop figures of the green and white rangers and he even took a picture of my Vegeta funko pop figure and sent it to Chris Sabat, the English voice actor for Vegeta. I will never forget that day. The Ranger Nation will miss him. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger. May the power protect you.

Jason and Kevin Conroy were two massive parts of my childhood and they passed away in the same week, RIP Jason and my thoughts go out to all his friends and family

JDF was to Power Rangers what RDJ was to the MCU. This HURT it really really hurt. Last week it was Kevin Conroy (the voice of Batman for an entire generation) and now this. Tommy was a childhood hero for me back in the 90s and he was to my nephew as he grew up watching Power Rangers. I saw your IG story right after I saw #JasonDavidFrank trending with about 1.7k tweets Saturday night. I didn't wanna believe it because the #RIPJimmyFallon thing was only a couple of days prior, and we all know how the internet likes to have these random celebrity death 'pranks.' So, I didn't think too much of it. I was floored when I saw fellow rangers post about it yesterday... Favorite Tommy moment: Green No More II where he beat Goldar unmorphed and said, "I almost gave up on myself Goldar, but your little picture show reminded me of how much good I've done. Not just as the Green Ranger, but as me; plain ol' Tommy." That line stuck with me since I was a kid. "I ALMOST gave up on myself..." part is what makes the circumstances surrounding his death even more heartbreaking to me. You can have money, thousands if not millions of fans, etc. but if you are empty inside then none of those things matters. I hope his passing teaches people that at your lowest you STILL matter to someone. R.I.P. to a legendary ranger but more importantly a good man. I think Jason meant as much to the fans as Tommy meant to the Ranger Universe as a whole.

R.I.P TO A MAN THAT CHANGED LIVES, MOLDED GENERATIONS AND INSPIRED SO MANY PEOPLE.

R.I.P. Jason David Frank, a.k.a. Tommy Oliver, Original Green and White Ranger. One of the nicest guys I have ever met. The day I got to meet you with my son is still one of my greatest memories. Guys if you're going through things in your life that you feel you just can't deal with, reach out to someone. Whether it be me, a family member, a therapist or counselor, just someone. #MayThePowerProtectYou

I love Jason David Frank because he inspired me of what karate is meant to be used and how to be a true Ranger. In my opinion I believe that Jason David Frank was a extraordinary man.

Binge watched yesterday after hearing news. Tommy never gave up no matter how bad things got.

He's the reason why to this day, my favorite color is green. May the power always protect him.

I began watching the Power Rangers due to his story line, I firmly believe he is the main reason I became obsessed with martial arts. I became a black belt later in my twenties. I feel he was true inspiration to everyone. Jason David Frank (aka Tommy Oliver) will always be the greatest power ranger of all time 😢❤

i dead ass cried bro i wanted to tell that man so many things he impacted in my life how he kept my mom memory alive by literally just being a character on a tv show…rip to a real legend

He was one of the greatest rangers ever and an inspiration to millions. May he ascend to the ethereal realm in peace. 😔🙏

RIP JDF. If you or anyone you know is struggling, please seek help. Tell a friend or loved one, use any and all resources you could find. You are not alone

Zordon needed his greatest ranger to help with an important mission that we will never fully understand and appreciate. A ranger doesn't die he's just releasing his spirit back into the grid. R.I.P JDF, you'll never be forgotten.

I watched every season of Power Rangers up to S.P.D. and then grew out of it, but those were some of the best years of my life, helped me get through a lot. I was a ranger for Halloween every year, first one was the white ranger when I was 4. It really sucks to lose JDF, but I understand considering the things he's had to deal with.

I've always been a Jason Fan (ASJ) but there is no denying the impact JDF had on the franchise and in the lives of fans around the world. There will never be another Tommy.

JDF was a legend that lived for his fans. I met him twice and watched him multiple times in just those two occurrences leave money on the table just to make the fans happy. My best memory was when I saw him at a con he signed something for me saw my green and white ranger tattoo called me back to the table sign my shirt and told me to have a great day. The world is a little darker without him in it. This is my first time commenting on your videos and I think you did him a great honor by speaking so highly of him and how he affected your life. Every Ranger fan was touched by him and our childhoods made a little better because of him.

Rest in Power Jason. You will be always remembered.

I had people check in on me as if I had lost a family member. It's been crazy to say the least. I don't know what I could say that others haven't already said, JDF was the best, on and off-screen. I meet him once and he was every bit the person you'd hope him to be. This is one scenario where meeting your heroes was a phenomenal moment and life-changing.

Rest in Power Jason David Frank. This news hit me hard. First Kevin Conroy now JDF. They were such a big part of my childhood. Tommy was always a favorite of mine and a hero. Even though I never met him he was a wonderful human being. May he rest in peace.

Jason David Frank played my first example of a evil character over coming their darkness in themselves, and not only turning to the good side, but also sacrificing their power for the good of others. Ever since then I loved the idea of villains going through emotional changes and eventually redemption arcs. Jason David Frank impacted the rangers story line so many times, and it was always a highlight seeing him turn up. I hope that he has found some peace.

May Jason rest in peace. He left his mark on the world and will never be forgotten. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger. You hang in there, man. It's always tough. But the best way to honor his memory is to live well.

RIP Jason David Frank, he truly was my childhood hero I wanted to be just like Tommy Oliver he was so awesome and a badass character and in fact I just rewatched Green with Evil Part 1-5 last night to celebrate and honor JDF and I was reminded why Tommy was a great character and JDF was perfect as Tommy , Rest In Power Jason David Frank 🙏🕊️

I lost two men from my childhood. First lost Bob Saget who was like the father figure i always wanted as a kid and then losing JDF, the cool guy who did the right thing and always fought for good. Man just such a heartbreaking year.

I was literally hoping it was a hoax but sadly it wasn’t 😢 RIP Jason David Frank thank you for all that you done for the Power Rangers franchise, BatintheSun etc. Yes they were great!

RIP Jason David Frank. You will be missed. :'(

This is truly heartbreaking. I met him twice at Comic Con in Alabama, and he was always kind to his fans. He was one of the few celebrities that actually cared about people. He told me he loves my energy and I said, “I’m just like you, bro! You’re my spirit animal!” He laughed and hugged me. I didn’t want to belive it was suicide. But it’s true and so tragic. He inspired me to do martial arts too, bro. I’m still hurt and heartbroken. You never know what someone is going through. RIP JDF 😢💔💔🕊

I got to meet him one time back in 2015 at the Lexington comic con, got a photo with him and a signed photo as well. he was..is my hero. after the con when waiting for my friends he even called out to me telling me good luck at work. i am heart broken over this and the world is worse without him. we will never get any ranger as great of a hero as him.

I couldn't believe it at first. I've never had a celebrities death effect me like this. I'm still in a state of disbelief. As an adult coming back to Power Rangers after years away finding out more about JDF was inspiring. His embracing of a hero/role model for children (and adult who he first inspired as children) was incredible. My kids are into Power Rangers now and they gravitated towards Tommy as well. JDF made a Cameo video for them and it is just incredible the amount inspiration and positivity that came out of him. I'm still shocked.

A ranger forever. I am a 1997 kid. I grew up watching this man. So many lessons taught. You could be bad make mistakes and find your way to good again, you could lead and later on you could be a teacher. This is so sad man. Chester Bennington part of my favourite band of all time and also a big part of my life, he lost his life to his demons as well. I know there is speculation on how Jason passed but it still hits hard. I like to believe that legends never die. Rest in power Jason David Frank

He made are childhood so memorable he will always be remembered 😢

Someone may be gone, but as long as someone remembers them, a piece of them survives. #RIPGreenRanger

RIP JDF, you really were and still are the greatest ranger there ever was

DAMN, this fn hit me harder than I could ever imagine. The way he's gone even more as I have been struggling with depression since I was a kid, I'm 30+years old now and I could only imagine what he was going through. 💔 I regret not seeing him at my local comic shop soooooooo much more now. 😫

He will be missed, Jason Frank was the heart of the power ranger series. Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. Once a ranger, always a ranger.

I was heartbroken when I learned this. Jason was the only real life ranger, he will forever be missed

RIP Tommy Oliver, he had been a really huge part of my childhood and knowing that he is no longer with us really saddens me, he is the greatest power ranger ever.

He was my favorite ranger and the green ranger was one of the best power ranger in the series IMO. I saw this news when my dad was scrolling down his facebook pages and I was hurt and saddened to learn of his passing. Jason David Frank is one of the few who made my childhood a good one when watching the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Condolences to the family and friends for their loss of a loved one. 🙏👼

I grew up with him. 😢he was my favorite ranger

Rest in Power Jason, dude was an amazing man, and I even got to meet him a few times at Anime Festival Orlando over the years. It's hard to believe such a nice and good person is gone. May the power protect him, and may he be with God in heaven now. Edit: and I'm praying for his family, there are 4 children who are missing their father.

We all grieve with you. As a huge Ranger Nation that love this franchise since it's inception. I was shocked to hear this. I was a big Ranger fan myself. We lost a great Ranger. But we all can carry the power that he possessed and share it with others. May the Power protect us. #oncearangeralwaysaranger #RIPJDF

You were the first person I thought of when the news broke and I was waiting to hear what you had to say. You did not disappoint and your words have more than done him justice. It's a shame you never got to meet him in person but I know he would have been proud of the dedication you have shown not only to this franchise, but to your followers and to martial arts as well. The world lost a hero and a good man today. Thank you for your kind words and of course thank you and RIP to Jason David Frank. He truly changed all of our lives for the better. Please keep making these great videos. May the Power Protect You, my friend.

I was in shock all yesterday, and couldn't believe it. This was the first channel i couldn't stop thinking about because I always come here to feel the love of the best Power Ranger in Power Rangers History. R.I.P. Jason David Frank ⚡️👦🏻🙌🏻🪙🟢⚪️🔴⚫️🟡🕊🕊🙏

I woke up Sunday morning seeing reports of JDF's death on Facebook. My first thought was it had to be a Death Hoax that just happened to center around him. After looking it up more to confirm it hit me hard. Also to lose the voice of Batman Kevin Conroy almost a week prior is devastating. To lose the two people who got me for the most part into Superheroes as a whole in that short a span of time.

I was hoping and praying this was something to do with Twitter being absolutely terrible lately and this being a false report, but man I still can't believe it. I'll forever have that man in my head as a role model, someone who despite not knowing it put me on the path towards martial arts and fitness as a kid. Rest in peace JDF, we're all gonna miss you. And if anyone that's in this comments section sees this, please, speak to someone if you're struggling, check on your friends and family and make sure they're alright. One of the most courageous things you can do is ask for help.

The best power ranger ever. Watching power rangers everyday as a kid inspired me to not only take martial arts but to be a better human being as I matured. He, and Kevin Conroy, were very influential in my childhood and both have passed far too soon.

Words can not express the feeling of loosing your hero. R.I.P.

RIP Jason David Frank…You were my favorite ranger hands down, who I never got to meet. Unfortunately his wife left him not to long ago, and his step daughter committed suicide about a year ago, I think it all caught up to him unfortunately…Once a Ranger, always a Ranger. Rest In Power.

I didn’t want to believe it at breakfast yesterday but this man meant the world to me. Knowing him first from Dino Thunder to eventually going back and watching MMPR, Zeo, and Turbo. He made our childhoods great and my only action figure i still have his of the Dino Thunder black ranger. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

Kids lost their father. Not just one. He had many kids. Jenna was the only one who wanted to be in the spotlight with him. I'm so sad. Dude changed my life for real.

I am so saddened by this. JDF was a super wonderful guy, and he will be sorely missed. The world has lost a person who brought happiness to many people. May he rest in piece.

I’m so glad I got to see him at Salt Lake FanX two months ago and get a picture with him and I had a friend in the picture with me. We were both in cosplays and he said we looked amazing. The way he said that felt so genuine. Thank you JDF.

Thank you for this. Let us all go through this strong. Rest in Peace JDF💫 Once a ranger, always a ranger 💚🤍❤🖤

May his soul rest in peace... Tommy Oliver (Jason David Frank) one.of the best power rangers of all times..he was my favorite and he was a great actor and a person..I will miss him. RIP the original green and white ranger.

He was my hero...and he will be missed.

Usually celeb passing doesn’t really bother me, but this does. I personally was a Red Ranger fan no matter what, but the time JDF put not only into power rangers, but being what PR was outside of the show was amazing to me. He earned my respect when I realized he was a real life hero. And that is why it hurts so much to see him gone. Respect in peace JDF.

Rest in peace Jason David frank tommy you were the greatest rest in power dude may the power protect you

that happened to me 3 times so far. When my dad died, when my pastor of our church died and when steve irwin died. When those we look up to and cherish die, it brings the crushing blow of mortality down upon our hearts. JDF was such a rolemodel to others and he will be greatly missed.

JDF, inspired a lot of people. Mine included. Seeing him, the first time. Falling in love with a character. He was a great man. A great person. And I too have lost my father, this year. He changed so many peoples lives. Jason, will always be missed.

Yesterday i was shocked, today i'm still shocked. Here in Italy Power Rangers was almost a religion for us kids. Growing up i though that the fandom didn't live, till yesterday, when my feed on social media, even people i can't stand, were pay homage and tributes to Jason. It's almost live living again that time Eddie Guerrero passed away. It hurts even more to see how many people here were inspired by him. This video is a great tribute, a truly felt one, it shows. And as a suicide survivor i can't thank you enough for spreading the awareness. May the Power protect you, always

I'm 42, I was in my early teens when Power Rangers debuted in America... Tommy was always my favorite Ranger... This news hurts. Rest in power JDF.

Jason David Frank / Tommy Oliver was and still is my favorite ranger of all time! I watched Mighty Morphin Power Pangers like so, many when I was quite young and the show and especially Tommy Oliver had quite the impact on me in my childhood. Rest in peace Jason David Frank / Tommy Oliver and thanks for everything!

This channel is what got me back into power rangers. It's tragic that Jason has passed.

RIP Jason. You were a great man, a great role model, you were just the greatest. Above all you were my hero. You’ll always be my hero. If the rumors are true then it just goes to show that we never know what someone is struggling with. Always be kind to others because you don’t know the battles they fight everyday. If you yourself are going through something reach out to someone and know that the world will not be a better place without you, it’ll be worse for everyone who loves you. You are important and loved and deserve to feel that love from everyone. Stay strong Rangers, and may the power protect you.

Rip Tommy. When I heard this news last night it broke my heart and I knew it would be a hard video for you to make. He will be missed and im truly thankful for all he did for us and for the Power Rangers community.

Man…this just hits hard… Honestly, when I first heard the news, I thought about you and how it would affect you. While I wasn’t the biggest Power Rangers fan, I have nothing but the utmost respect for any actor who takes up the mantle of a ranger. JDF especially seemed always eager to put the helmet on and get into the fight. He will be missed 💚🤍❤️🖤

had the pleasure of meeting Jason on two occasions a few years ago, he was such a nice enthusiastic guy, spoke with me as if I'd known him for years, had a laugh about how it was about 20 yrs late lol (I met him as an adult) and spoke about the indie film industry (which I was in at the time) among other things, the second time we met he surprisingly made a B line for me and greeted me with a hug, when staff attempted to move me on he turned them away and said 'no ,no he's my friend' they say never meet your childhood heroes, for me that couldn't have been more wrong RIP my friend x

I was very shocked to hear he has passed away. Tommy was and still my favourite power rangers.

My friend and I have had the privilege of meeting him twice. He always made sure that every fan, no matter how early or late was met. I’m still not sure how I feel about the news.

I first read the news on a 80's Cartoon Fan Page and at first, i couldn't believe what i read. And like you, i thought of one of those bad internet hoaxes. But the deeper i digged, the more real it seemed. When the Wikipedia Site of him showed, that he died, i couldn't help but shed some tears. It is so sad, that he is another victim of depression. He brought us fans so much joy and seemed to have always have time for his fans. Although i never got the chance, to meet him in person, i will miss this great and friendly actor and childhood hero.

Rest In Power JDF 💚

Your tribute to JDF was so touching I too am a Tommy Oliver fan boy and just like you am proud of it 😊I got to meet him more then once and everything you said about him as a person is true and his dedication to us as fans was something special I’m still in shock this tragedy has happened but watching your video made me feel little better so thanks for that because he should be celebrated and not forgotten an none of us will forget him In the words of Zordon “ you’re a strong and courageous fighter green ranger and an honourable man “ RIP JDF you will be missed deeply Thanks 6th ranger for this video

Heartbreaking news,R.I.P. to a legend🙏🏽

He had 4 kids (2b 2g), a successful dojo, and we loved him all the same. I'm still lost. The dragon flute salute will never mean the same.

When I 1st heard rest in peace Jason David Frank I thought it was a joke too when I kept searching and I saw nothing. That thought never crossed my mind That thought never crossed my mind at all. RIP JDF🙏🏿

I did not have a lot of men in my life growing up but what I did have was the power rangers. Tommy, Jason, zack and Billy. You wanted to be those guys. All four taught me alot and to loose any one of them sucks. May the power protect you forever and may you rest peacefully in the morphine grid JDF.

took along time for me to accept that he took his own life, such a shame that he felt that way and i hope that if anyone else feels that way they get the help they need, i have been that low but i got surpport and came through it which means anyone can. RIP Jason u will be missed and i hope u have found the peace you never had in life

You know about a month ago I talked to a fellow PR fan at a Local Game Shop. I told him about the time I met him and asked a question at a panel. That was everything when he actually said my name. The guy I talked to said JDF was a jerk my answer to that was "How? When he makes EVERY fan feel special." He was a great guy. And never once did I see him in a negative light. He was an inspiration to many. Once a Ranger ALWAYS a Ranger. As you cross the Morphin Grid may the Power Protect you.

I had a failed attempt about 25 days ago and I started going to therapy. I began shortly after, looking for green ranger cosplay, felt like going back to things that made me happy when I was a child. I found this too coincidental 😞

I really didn’t expect this hé was and still is a legend becouse he’s my top favorite actor of all time his passing will not be unnoticed we will miss you with all of our hearts RIP Jason David Frank you have inspired so many people and generations thank you for that.

I had the hardest day yesterday cried all day, R.I.P JDF you will always be my hero you helped me thru alot as a child just watching you on tv. We never met but damn man i love you rest in power king.

It was really my dream to meet him one day but sadly it will not happen I just hope he is in a better place now RIP Jason you are a legend and I will never forget him and he will always be the best.

Rest in peace JDF. I never got to meet you and while I can never hope for that again you made so many people happy. May the power protect you, even though you're gone you will live on wherever the Morphing Grid touches.

Rest in peace. A man has passed but remember, a legend is forever.

I'm still in shock like everyone else. He was a hero to millions. Rest in peace to the greatest Power Ranger of all time.

I literally met him last week here in Indiana for the last con he would ever attend…. He was such an amazing and down to earth human being. It’s so hard to believe. As he was signing my items. I told him to check out your Channel, who knows if he did but he told me he loved the channel name and would check it out. May the power protect you ! 💚🟢

He has been a true inspiration and a big impact of my life...Will truly miss him... R.I.P JDF
