Very motivated and you adored and cared for your fans..My family and I were planning on going to meet you at a comic con next year. I wish we would have sooner. I'm very saddened by this it hits hard. I'm praying for your family, friends, loved ones and fans who are hurting from this loss. 🙏 You will always be remembered and thank you for making my childhood special.

Oh my God people like you are so ignorant and that’s a nice way of saying it I do with depression, so if I kill myself, my boyfriend should be charged with it newsflash go with the chargers if she said to him go and kill yourself that’s the only way she can charge so nobody should be charged if she wanted to leave him. If she wasn’t happy anymore, she wanted to leave. No, she shouldn’t be charged you idiot and yes, I’m gonna call you an idiot for even saying that, so you should stay with somebody even if you’re not happy anymore if you’re not happy with that person, you should be charged with manslaughter you know my father was killed. He was actually murdered by the way so that guy that pisses me off that somebody should be charged when somebody else took their own life. What the hell is wrong with you that he took his own life and you weren’t there that’s what pisses me off you wasn’t there, so why should she be charged? That’s so stupid that’s the dumbest thing I ever heard of my life so everybody should be charged for once to kill himself right because there’s always something that pushes as a person to the edge when they have depression like my boyfriend would never want to stay with me just because I have depression just because I have suicidal thoughts at times I don’t want to stay with me I told him before I don’t want him to stay with me if he’s not happy anymore that was so stupid I mean, like I said, I said ignorant before that was just a nice wife, saying, but no, that was actually plain stupid oh, she should be charged for what for what for for they’re calling for divorce really and that if she did, she shouldn’t be charged because guess what he took his own life that’s on him and I’m a huge fan different but I took my own life is on me because I deal with depression every day anyway that says something so stupid like that you’re the one that needs to be charged because you’re being for being stupid, I mean what the hell the only time of person that has depression you could charge another person support is reality check is if she told him to go kill himself now there was a case of a girl telling her boyfriend to go kill himself and he had depression when she said that then yeah she was charged because she said that, so how in the fuck could he could you charge his wife? What for what for for divorce? That is so stupid that he gets I guess every woman was charged for that or that wants to file for divorce needs to be charged right newsflash when you have depression is a lot of things that happen is it wasn’t just that alone if that was true though, that’s only if it was true, you only saying what you believe

[@tammiepage6489]

@@darkcosmicmoon you agree that you’re stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid again a long way is if she said go kill yourself not as far as I understand she never said that to him she never told him to go kill himself, so why should she be charged with me slaughter, you know, my father was actually murdered. He was actually murdered. That’s why that pisses me off like I said to the other person.

[@reloadingdontshoot1]

You could hear it in his voice....he was just absolutely done. Absolutely heartbreaking. Lost his brother long ago, his mother, and apparently his step-daughter a few years ago. Must have felt like he lost everything, and then throw a divorce on top...this poor soul. Did no one see the signs?? Did no one simply ask "are you ok, how can I help"?? I have about 4 friends I check in on DAILY because they're always on the edge. Depression, anxiety, sobriety are NO JOKE. Help those in need and don't turn a blind eye. Rest in Paradise Green Ranger!

He definitely made an impact & he will be missed.

[@timothyjohnson2835]

No more living in confusion, no more hoping. If you want to know for sure you're going to heaven when you die, just turn from your guilty conscience. Follow God to the best of your knowledge. So if anything makes your spirit uncomfortable stay away from it. But people shouldn't overthink their relationship, just focus on today. Not all Christians are on the same level but just don't plan or linger in what you learned is sin. The Holy Bible states that anyone can turn to Jesus, even people who sold their soul to the devil, like witches, psychics, sorcerers, satanists, people who participate in witchcraft. But your life here on this earth is the only time you have to make up your mind. At this point, you have to believe Jesus was more than a messenger or a good person. He was sent by God to be Savior of the world and to die for our sins. He was crucified, buried, resurrected three days later, he walked the earth for forty days then ascended into heaven. There were eyewitnesses who recorded events that took place in his life and resurrection. Information concerning Jesus' life and crucifixion was passed down through written history and oral tradition. Ask Jesus to forgive you for every sin you have committed. It doesn't matter how you do it, but just tell him that you repent. You turn from your old wicked ways and turn to him. Tell God that you accept his son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior... For now on, don't plan or linger in what you learned is against the Bible. Use what you learned so far, and apply it to your life. Once you reach a certain age, your conscience tells you what's right and what's wrong. If you can't picture Jesus giving in/ or behaving a certain way, do not give in. Not every sin will be specifically listed in scripture but you will know when you feel the guilt. To give you a good understanding of what sin is, it's lying, profanity, extortion, threatening, anger, drinking, masturbation, seduction, homosexuality, sex outside of marriage, unfaithful in relationships or marriage, trying to intentionally get high, child abuse/neglect, trying to publicly humiliate someone or put their sin on a stage, fighting, bullying, biased, prejudice, revenge, retaliation, intimidation, harassment, antagonizing, assault, violence, murder, pedophilia, racism, stealing, pornography, sorcery, abortion, encouragement/support for sin, hypocritical judgment and judging by appearance. You can also read Leviticus 20:1-17 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. God requires us to make righteous judgments such as; encouraging people to live righteously according to his commandments and standing up for what is morally right with empathy. And always keep in mind that any spiritual meditation is very dangerous if you're not focused on the spirit of Jesus. Sin can no longer be your intentions. The sin is the act, so when you have evil thoughts running through your mind. Cast it out, meditate on uprightness. But when you do end up sinning at some point, ask Jesus to forgive you. Jesus knows you can be in tough situations that involve sin but you have to come up with a plan. Don't get comfortable in sin and do your best to get out of it. You have to hate sin, continue to fight out of it. Jesus knows if you're really trying, he knows your intentions. He knows if you really hate sin. Forgive others just as Jesus has forgiven you. Unforgiveness will make you vengeful and God doesn't want vengeance in your heart. God doesn't want you riled up over people you have no control over. Don't let people have control over your mind. Forgiveness does not mean you have to put up with people, of course you're going to have to keep your distance because you know what they're about. God just wants you to let go of this grudge, this retaliation, so you can have peace. When you forgive, you're taking a big weight off your shoulders. Forgive and move on with your life. God just wants you to have control over your mind and move on with your life because your anger and emotions can keep you from thinking clearly or making wise decisions. Do your best to stay away from people who you know are intentionally sinning, you can help them but do not come into agreement or follow what they're doing. Do not deny Jesus, don't be ashamed. You might not have all the knowledge but at this point you have to be willing to stand up for him, don't back down. Continue to humble yourself to learn more about God and keep striving to do better, even through the trials and tribulations. Baptism in water is very important, it is an outward declaration of the decision that we have made for Christ. It identifies us with Christ's death, burial and resurrection. But, person can go in the water a dry devil and come out a wet devil. If a person truly receives Jesus in his heart and drops dead before the baptismal service, without a doubt, heaven will be his eternal home. The thief on the cross can attest to that. The only unforgivable sin is never receiving Jesus as savior and Lord. When the bible speaks of blaspheming against the holy spirit, it is in reference to the prideful pharisees who were attributing the works of Jesus to the devil and trying to entrap the lord. It is widely believed and I take this stand also that Jesus knowing the condition of the hearts of those particular men, was referencing them and not all men. These verses of scripture must be kept in proper context. Do not isolate the scriptures, but read the scriptures before and after, know the setting of the verses and know who the author is talking to. Before a man comes to Christ, he is capable of doing anything. To suggest that a person can commit a sin that God is not willing to forgive him for undermines the entire gospel message. Jesus came to save a lost and dying world. God has so much love and compassion for you but he can't accept you until you accept him. So when God judges you, he is not choosing whether you go to heaven or hell because you already made it to heaven based on your conscience decision to follow him. God will judge you based on your works you did on this earth to determine what rewards you will get in heaven. God knows you can do this, your emotions will have you thinking that it's harder than what it really is. He will forgive anyone for anything but they have to truly regret it and want to be forgiven. I know it might feel like God is overreacting but if you just take a look back at all the evil things you did in your life you'll realize how wonderful God is to make a way for you....

You told nothing but facts it's like our childhood is slowly dieing out

I Grew Up Watching Power Rangers When I Was A Little Boy And That Series Will Always Be Part Of My Life

[@Only_2_Wheelz]

That was a sad day😢…happy i got a chance to meet him. R.I.P JDF

[@CaptainCapital8]

I'm just really heartbroken over this news. :'( he was an awesome soul with a big heart.

[@marcinhudala9015]

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a role model. He has inspired so many people. He was a real life hero and will stay forever in our hearts and he will not be forgotten. Maybe the Power Rangers where not real, but Jason David Frank was real as a human being and as a person. He was a martial artist and used his skills to his advantage to bring his best performance. He was so dedicated to the Power Rangers Franchise. He put his heart and soul into it. All out of love for his fans. Thank you for playing Tommy Oliver for so many years. Thank you for being a Power Ranger in many different TV Series. I was born in 1982 and I've been watching The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a kid in my childhood. Tommy Oliver was the coolest Power Ranger and such a bad ass character. I am rewatching the whole series to honor Jason David Frank. I can only guess, he never used any stunt doubles, because he was so gifted and talented as a martial artist. You can totally see that on the screen. I will for sure watch his new movie next year. With love and respect. Take care and all the best for his family and friends.

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Late 80s babies were the kids of the 1990s. Tommy was a icon of 90s. You will forever be missed.

[@RedRanger9305]

Rest in Peace and Power, Legendary Hero. Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger. 💚🤍❤️🖤

[@BoboTheKlown95]

I'm still crying my heart out

[@pizzaqueen6813]

Jason was a dear friend of my husband, he was so compassionate and loved by so many. I think of him everyday and pray that he is in paradise. A genuine soul, gone too soon. Rest easy friend, you are missed more than you could have imagined ❤

[@kjo2130]

He was my entire childhood man. Can’t believe he’s gone.

[@BrianHallmond]

As someone who's struggled with suicide myself, it's so shocking to see him do it when so many people look up to him. Sad that such a good guy was in so much psychological pain. RIP old friend.

[@americantrash593]

Jason will be extremely missed. We needed more ppl like him in this world. Rip brotha 🙏

[@박진호-c4l]

I am from Korea. I saw Mighty Morphine Power Rangers in Korea a long time ago. I still remember it vividly. All of my friends from the same school who lived in my day copied the music he played when he was singing a dragon on a flute-type instrument recorder. It is very sad that he left, but we remember him. JDF

[@nico_.esquivel_]

It's strange because I can't cry anymore, it just doesn't feel real yet, it feels like a very bad dream. He was my childhood and left an impact in my life that has no words to describe, and he did that for millions. On and off screen he was a legend and a hero, truly the greatest Power Ranger to ever live, and a man dedicated to the community giving love every single day. May you rest in peace and power Jason David Frank, our Tommy Oliver, thank you for everything 💚🤍❤️❤️🖤🕊

[@marcelparker6755]

I haven't even started to cry. I know I will later, but right now... the tears won't come out nor can I/will I force them out. Then again, the shock still hasn't worn off.

[@essj3334]

Nostalgia in my childhood watching the original Power Rangers in the 90's R.I.P David Jason Frank

[@AaronDawgzilla9055]

[@OmerKadakal]

It just still hurts man...

[@JericoV]

I was really blessed to have met him 4 months ago. It's really heartbreaking will never get to see him again. Rest In Power JDF. You will always be our Green Ranger.

[@KingKong187911]

You made my childhood a brighter place and inspired a whole new generation of martial artists to stay healthy and be strong. Rest with God in peace and love ❤️

[@parkerbeard6170]

I had the pleasure of meeting him 3 times and he was always so kind and friendly to me. I think he definitely had personal issues going on lately that he was too ashamed to talk about. I know I'm just his fan, but I feel so bad for the his family and friends who knew him personally

[@USNEM]

This is horrible. He was such an amazing dude. I have been going through some mental issues myself, and now seeing Jason gone really hurts me.

[@EthanLong]

Give this editor a raise

[@meangreenmememachine2890]

"...kids aren't going to school, kids aren't eating" 😂😅 once a ranger, always a ranger ✋🏻 rest in power jason ❤

[@Chishannicon]

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with the Power Rangers, *especially* Tommy the Green Ranger. I watched that show religiously for the first three seasons (only stopped watching once Kimberly left). I'm in my mid-30s now, and have always looked back on those times with such warmth and happiness. I fear that those memories will forever be felt with a bit of melancholy now... He was so important to my entire generation.

[@ashleyhobson1414]

I second this same💔 I too am 34 and relate to everything you said.

[@jasondavidstapleton]

😭it still hurts him being gone I always happy seeing him on power rangers the day he died I cried all night long

[@TheWarriorVA]

This man was a hero and a legend to me. In memory for him I will never lose my Ranger Power. Once a Ranger always a Ranger! RIP Jason. You will be missed.

[@tomasamalbert9018]

I'm 35 and crying like I lost A close friend. He's been A part of my life for 29 years. I met him and he treated my kids with so much love and respect. He really made an impact. He was my hero nearly my entire life and now he's gone. Thank you JDF. We will all always hold you in our hearts. May the power protect you. 💚

[@tonyrodriguez2943]

I’m going to miss you, Tommy 🟢⚪️🔴⚫️.

[@JDFoncearangeralwaysaranger]

Rest in peace Jason David Frank. May the power protect you forever

[@andreasrutledge93]

I can't think of anybody else that had a legendary impact on power rangers like he has,R.I.P. to him and be remembered for years to come.

[@VAFranky]

Major part of my childhood. He brought a lot of legitimacy to the show with his martial arts background. I remember being glued to the TV by his crazy kicks and his way above par acting for this type of show. I don't really think anyone on any of the Power Rangers shows could match him. Greatly missed, forever remembered!

[@patluciano1392]

When I heard the sad news about JDF passing my heart broke and l cried the whole day so sad R I P Tommy l will miss you

[@sbtopjosh4098]

I believe lots of guys here are in their 30's and 40's. Im in my 40's and this guy was basically my childhood. At school we would talk about how cool the white ranger was. RIP JDF. Thank you for the memories.

[@swillieplays]

This is really one of the hardest celeb deaths for me since Robin , I was hoping to get my Lightning collection white ranger helmet signed by him some day but now ... Thanks for being such a great role model.

[@jenniferlundquist9475]

Thank you for this sweet tribute. I actually got my kids into power rangers when the news kept talking about the Power Rangers phenomenon. I loved how each episode taught a value. My kids had one rule only fight the air. We watched the show together so that I would know what was going on, plus it was a treasured time together. I know as much about Power Rangers as they do and even though they eventually outgrew Power Rangers we all look fondly on the impact JDF and all the power rangers had on their childhood.

[@JohnHausser]

Power Rangers, Pokémon, etc etc ! This was a tough year Cheers from San Diego California

[@CharlesEdmonds-lz7sc]

He was a childhood hero to me and many others.

[@jeffreywilliams8499]

The GOAT Ranger and Ambassador of the franchise. Rest in Power 🔋 🙏

[@DavidMartinez-us2rk]

This man's single-handedly inspired my childhood and changed my life I started in the martial arts 28 years ago because of him I got to train with him years ago and he was the nicest human being you'd ever want to be he was so knowledgeable about the martial arts and loved his fans deeply I don't know the last time I was this upset but JDF thank you for everything you did for me and everyone. And I pray and hope you found your peace

[@VOAN]

I'll miss him so much. He was my childhood hero and every episode that he was on, I was there to watch it all the way.

Amy Jo crying takes it to a whole different level of sadness…Tommy and Kimberly…Rest in Mighty Morphin’ Power JDF…RIP 🐉🐅

[@TCTUnlimited]

This is one of the most devastating deaths I have felt in a long time. The way it happened and who the man was really hit home to all kids who grew up in the 90s and looked up to The Power Rangers and through his inspiration have spread the message that "Nothing can defeat The Human Spirit"

[@liyaj5232]

I was born in the 00s but I grew up watching all the power rangers! this man was my whole childhood! I used to cry because I wanted to be a power ranger soooo bad!! he was a huge part of my childhood... may he Rest In Peace :((( he inspired so many of us

[@mattline76]

Rest in power JDF🙏Thank you for being such an inspiration and making my childhood so magical💚🤍🖤 HELP US ALL FIGHT THE FORCES OF EVIL 👊

Today is Dec. 19 2022 and I can’t believe it’s been one month already since our icon, hero, and the man who built our childhoods has passed. May Jason David Frank rest in peace ❤️

[@Oddworld2024]

Respects to the cast and crew of the power rangers show and movie. His family and friends. He was the Legolas of his time. Having watched that first episode that aired watching and even participating in that partition to save green ranger tommy. 🇨🇦❤️ Watching how he was with us fans (though myself, I’ve not ever met any of them sadly) was the best. Man with such a heart. Sorry for this loss.

[@Oddworld2024]

GO GO POWER RANGERS

[@ericrodensky9806]

Wow! 90’s kids have taking a huge beating this month. First Kevin Conroy, now JDF. Rip. 😢
