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.
The two never may have gotten back to beer drinking buddies but I think they did set the hatchet aside (burying the hatchet doesnt mean what ya think it does) . Like ASJ said. Once a Ranger, always a ranger.
No death is sadder than any other. Thuy never had this love and support coming from the fans because well, the internet wasn't like this decades ago. Let's also not forget that 9/11 happened a week after her passing. I hate thinking about what we could have had with her if she was still alive. All six (or ten I should say) together.
Me too I’ve never cried over a power rangers actor’s death and to be honest I’ve never cried over any celebrity death that much but this death I’ve cried so hard and so much R.I.P Jason David Frank
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.
It was a combination of things, One of his own kids commited suicide themselves, on top of an ongoing divorce, well, lets just say everyone has their breaking point and sadly JDF reached his
@@danielkells6021 The sad thing was Tammie (Jason's widow) confirmed that they actually were working things out and annulling the divorce, so they were still married. The absolute didn't go through. 😞 Tammie and Jason went on a break (his dad accompanied them) and she and his dad later found him in his room after he end-gamed.
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!
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.
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... :(
@@Unversed333 yeah I know but on average Christians dont off themselves so thats why Im hoping that he asked God for forgiveness even if it was at the last second before he passed.
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
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.
i know what you mean to me jdf together with asj the greatest leaders hope jdf will rest in peace and that asj together with the rest of the original crew will live happy lives
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. 😔
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.
@@aoifekennedy9004 Hmm, since JDF death is caused by suicide maybe he think he is to blame since he cant help his friend to recover from everything that happen to him, causing him to suicide.
@@febripratama7107 ohh ok yeah I know what you mean and I agree he shouldn’t blame himself it’s hard for people to talk it’s not easy and plus Jason Faunt didn’t know I’m sure just like everyone else so it is NOT his fault
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.
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 💚
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❤
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 ❤️
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.
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
It hasn't been exactly easy, for me that he is gone and as Any has said that it sucks. Of course we are all going to be okay, a beautiful person and a beautiful soul. I wished that I could have met him again.
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.
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
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.
I heard there’s gonna be Trini’s daughter in Cosmic Fury, maybe JDF’s son can come and play a Live-action JJ Oliver, it could go, Lord Zedd; MAH HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Now that Tommy Oliver has been Destroyed no one can stop me!! Zayto; That’s not true there is one person who still can! *Holds out his hand to J.J. and the Green power coin appears* Here take it. J.J.; What? Zayto; It only seems right it’s you who stops hem, it’s time to finally finish your Dad’s work as a ranger! JJ; … Aiyon; Do it for your father JJ; *nods to Aiyon then takes the coin* DRAGONZORD!!!
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
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 ❤❤🙏
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
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.
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 😪😔
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!
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
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 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 😔💕
this is a great video but if i could respectively make a suggestionid add the actors name and the name of the ranger they played to it some like space red looks a lot different then when they where on tv and i don't know about other but i had to stop a few times to look up who it was
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😭❤
The Blue Ranger's tweet was in the video... However that still leaves the other 3... I think I saw "Kira" say something somewhere... But honestly she's more focused on being a Preachy "Activist" than anything else...
@@Videogeek95 someone mentioned that Kira; due to her absolute refusal to acknowledge the franchise or apparently claim she did the show; said nothing but posted the suicide hot line number. OK. I guess. To each their own. But his life was more important and he was so amazing; to have worked with him like that and too afraid to say anything because of being associated with the franchise? Maybe they weren't close at all. Idk. But still. Idk. at least she gave out the number i guess but also everyone did that as well. So idk.
I don’t know why I decided to watch this in 2024 but I’m crying like a baby maybe it’s because I finally came to terms with JDF being gone he was my childhood RIP JDF you are missed 😢 I lost my mom the year before he passed I feel like I lost two of my biggest hero’s
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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
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.
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
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
I was bless to live to see Power Rangers start in 1993 at age 13 and end at age 43. Power ranger brought a lot of love and Joy into my life. MMPR will always be my favorite of all the power series there were and Jason David Frank aka Tommy will always be my favorite Ranger of all time, for he is truly the best of the best that ever were, Love you man and RIP big Bro.
I JUST met him at Planet Comic Con KC last year. His booth was next to Mark-Paul Gosselar’s. This is very hard for all of us who grew up with Power Rangers since season 1.
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
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!!! 👊🏻✊🏻🤜🏻💚💚
Happy Birthday and Memories to Jason David Frank September 4, 1973 - November 20, 2022 He will always be remember to all Power Ranger Fans May The Power Protect Him 💚🤍❤️🖤
As a former kiddo (I’m grown now), you were a hero, man. This still bites that you’re gone. Wish something could have been done to change your course for the better.
Every Power Ranger fan remembers every major battle Jason David Frank every fought on so many incarnations of Power Rangers. The main difference is that Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, The Machine Empire, Divatox, Astronema, Trakeena, Queen Bansheera, Ransik, Master Org, etc. are all fictional. The demons in your head are very real, and can be far more powerful than any Power Rangers villain could ever hope to be. May the power protect you forever, Jason David Frank!!!
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 🙏🏽
He left he was a good person at heart he loved him until the handicap he took the time to get to know you who you are he loves life itself he was a good person he was a good person Make the power protect you all it's more than time it's a we lost a great person Jason David Frank was a great person his legacy will live on and a mighty more from public community it's more of in time people we are healing and would take a long time for us to heal it's morphin time legacy power at rangers you lost a great power of ranger friend I love David Lee Frank he was my favorite power ranger next to chasing me Scott and the old cheese I love you all it's morphin time I'm very hot broken

I’m sorry for your loss.😢
Austin means he had some care for Jason
In my opinion, this is the saddest death news I've ever heard because Power Rangers is nostalgic to me.
Me too :(
Watching this...
I was in Tears When i heard about it
Rest In Piece Legend
No death is sadder than any other. Thuy never had this love and support coming from the fans because well, the internet wasn't like this decades ago. Let's also not forget that 9/11 happened a week after her passing. I hate thinking about what we could have had with her if she was still alive. All six (or ten I should say) together.

Beautiful post.

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.
Hopefully they will be able to work in his absence into the story.
i know what you mean to me jdf together with asj the greatest leaders hope jdf will rest in peace and that asj together with the rest of the original crew will live happy lives
RIP original green ranger. You'll be missed. He will always be the best 6th ranger imo. No one can top him.
He is the best sixth ranger but debatable to be the strongest
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. 😔
Rest In Piece Legend
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.
Who is Jason Faunt ? Why does he blame himself ?
@@aoifekennedy9004 I think he is the actor for Timeforce Red Ranger, Wesley "Wes" Collins.
@@febripratama7107 ohh ok I’ve never watched Power Rangers Time Force so I didn’t know. Why does he blame himself though ?
@@aoifekennedy9004 Hmm, since JDF death is caused by suicide maybe he think he is to blame since he cant help his friend to recover from everything that happen to him, causing him to suicide.
@@febripratama7107 ohh ok yeah I know what you mean and I agree he shouldn’t blame himself it’s hard for people to talk it’s not easy and plus Jason Faunt didn’t know I’m sure just like everyone else so it is NOT his fault
He was so dedicated to his character and role that he took it seriously and thats what made him the best power ranger.
Don't give up everyone, or we'll let Rita Repulsa win. Stay strong.
RIP Tommy.
She's like Team Rocket though.
Rita repulsa's actress died
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.
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 💚
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❤
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...💔
rip to the one and only true green/white ranger. Your legacy will not be forgotten JDF.
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 ❤️
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’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
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
It hasn't been exactly easy, for me that he is gone and as Any has said that it sucks. Of course we are all going to be okay, a beautiful person and a beautiful soul. I wished that I could have met him again.
@@Smalltummywonderful though I never got to meet him he was my hero and always will be
@@lapd_code_3 yeah, I understand that he was like a brother or a father to so many of us. I'm pretty sure that we will meet them all one day
@@Smalltummywonderful absolutely but know he's watching us all :)
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.
Rest in Peace Jason David Frank!! The greatest Ranger of them all!! I'm definitely missing you bro 😢
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
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.
I heard there’s gonna be Trini’s daughter in Cosmic Fury, maybe JDF’s son can come and play a Live-action JJ Oliver, it could go,
Lord Zedd; MAH HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Now that Tommy Oliver has been Destroyed no one can stop me!!
Zayto; That’s not true there is one person who still can! *Holds out his hand to J.J. and the Green power coin appears* Here take it.
J.J.; What?
Zayto; It only seems right it’s you who stops hem, it’s time to finally finish your Dad’s work as a ranger!
JJ; …
Aiyon; Do it for your father
JJ; *nods to Aiyon then takes the coin* DRAGONZORD!!!
Maybe the actor who played a child Tommy will be playing as the son in the future.
The Walter Jones post hurts the most
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
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 ❤❤🙏
Nice words.
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 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
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.
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 😪😔
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.
I M NOT READY TO LET HIM IN GO PFF HE IS REALLY GONE😢 THANK YOU JASON FOR MAKING OUR CHILDHOOD ❤❤
It still hurts when he passed away 💔😢😭
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!
R.I.P Jason David Frank I hope you are doing good in heaven we lost another OG classic Power Ranger
And his brother Eric 😭
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.
His Wife should be ashamed of herself.
It was more than just what was going with her. You don't commit suicide on a whim like that. He struggled with a lot of things with his mental health.
He Will Live Forever In Ranger Legend RIP May The Power Protect You
I am still shocked that he left too soon.....Thanks for making my childhood memory able
RIP JDF
Rest In Peace Jason David Frank. you will forever be in our hearts 💚🤍❤️🖤
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
He's up there with the white mystic force ranger the red ninja storm ranger
He's up there with Lord Zedd!
Her Name Was Thuy Tang
@Ian yorkland TY
As someone who grew up with him as Dr. O, the Dino Thunder posts hit me in a fragile spot. Bracio Power Forever 🖤
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
His family has my sympathy for their loss
I just wish I got to meet him and give him the mightiest hug I could muster.
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 😔💕
This was beautiful. Still heartbroken after all this.
this is a great video but if i could respectively make a suggestionid add the actors name and the name of the ranger they played to it some like space red looks a lot different then when they where on tv and i don't know about other but i had to stop a few times to look up who it was
Wow. Even the stars from Post Zordon era power rangers, are sad that they lost their idol.
I cried nonstop after hearing about his passing
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😭❤
I still can't believe that he is unlive.
Haven’t heard anything from the Dino Thunder casts on JDF passing.
The Blue Ranger's tweet was in the video... However that still leaves the other 3... I think I saw "Kira" say something somewhere... But honestly she's more focused on being a Preachy "Activist" than anything else...
Kevin Duhaney and Jeff Parazzo have both posted stuff which are both on this video
Where? Can’t find them.
Kevin and Jeff posted tributes to him on their IG stories a few days back. Emma posted the S U I C I D E prevention number on her IG story.
@@Videogeek95 someone mentioned that Kira; due to her absolute refusal to acknowledge the franchise or apparently claim she did the show; said nothing but posted the suicide hot line number. OK. I guess. To each their own. But his life was more important and he was so amazing; to have worked with him like that and too afraid to say anything because of being associated with the franchise?
Maybe they weren't close at all. Idk. But still. Idk. at least she gave out the number i guess but also everyone did that as well. So idk.
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 don’t know why I decided to watch this in 2024 but I’m crying like a baby maybe it’s because I finally came to terms with JDF being gone he was my childhood RIP JDF you are missed 😢
I lost my mom the year before he passed I feel like I lost two of my biggest hero’s
Even though I haven’t watched a lot of Power Rangers, I’m glad I watched the og show, Zeo, and Dino Thunder
I loved Dino thunder
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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
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.
I feel bad about Tommy Oliver aka known as Jason David Frank!
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
i made it around 2 minutes before stopping, tommy was my favorite ranger as a child, and this hurts me deeply, so sad to lose him
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 😭🥺😌
Jason David Frank's Gone. He's 100% Gone. Jason Has Left Us. So Sad, 😭😭😭😭. Rest In Peace, Jason. (R.I.P). 1973-2022.
That the fact i grow watching him hurts more
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 💙😔
Once a ranger forever a ranger. I'll never forget watching him on TV
😔
🙏
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
I was bless to live to see Power Rangers start in 1993 at age 13 and end at age 43. Power ranger brought a lot of love and Joy into my life. MMPR will always be my favorite of all the power series there were and Jason David Frank aka Tommy will always be my favorite Ranger of all time, for he is truly the best of the best that ever were, Love you man and RIP big Bro.
I will never forget him!!!!
I JUST met him at Planet Comic Con KC last year. His booth was next to Mark-Paul Gosselar’s. This is very hard for all of us who grew up with Power Rangers since season 1.
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
I hope for reaction from Super Sentai actors, especially from Zyuranger casts (Izumi has did it, waiting for the rest)
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 didn't have to end this way. 😕
It really does hurt that JDF is gone
Man it's just too sad to watch this...
What’s getting to me is the fact that all of the Rangers are wishing condolences to each other. MMPR showing that “family” goes beyond blood.
Happy Birthday and Memories to Jason David Frank
September 4, 1973 - November 20, 2022
He will always be remember to all Power Ranger Fans
May The Power Protect Him 💚🤍❤️🖤
As a former kiddo (I’m grown now), you were a hero, man. This still bites that you’re gone. Wish something could have been done to change your course for the better.
I'm starting to wonder if the original actors playing OhRed, Kibaranger, and AbareBlack have something to say about the passing of JDF.
Every Power Ranger fan remembers every major battle Jason David Frank every fought on so many incarnations of Power Rangers. The main difference is that Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, The Machine Empire, Divatox, Astronema, Trakeena, Queen Bansheera, Ransik, Master Org, etc. are all fictional. The demons in your head are very real, and can be far more powerful than any Power Rangers villain could ever hope to be. May the power protect you forever, Jason David Frank!!!

damn we gonna miss him! The Dragon Zord and The Tigerzord is gonna miss him too!
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 🙏🏽
He left he was a good person at heart he loved him until the handicap he took the time to get to know you who you are he loves life itself he was a good person he was a good person Make the power protect you all it's more than time it's a we lost a great person Jason David Frank was a great person his legacy will live on and a mighty more from public community it's more of in time people we are healing and would take a long time for us to heal it's morphin time legacy power at rangers you lost a great power of ranger friend I love David Lee Frank he was my favorite power ranger next to chasing me Scott and the old cheese I love you all it's morphin time I'm very hot broken
