Jason's funeral was yesterday, it was live streamed if anyone wants to watch: www.facebook.c...
I meant to add, one of my favorite (or funniest) Tommy moments was in Dino Thunder, when Dr. O was fighting Elsa at the high school in street clothes, so when the students came outside it appeared the teacher and their principal were having this epic battle. Pretty hysterical out of context for the students, I'd imagine! (Mia also loved this scene)

For a certain generation, we all looked up to him. He was our Fonzie. He’ll be greatly missed. I miss him.
He was way cooler than Fonzie lol
He was the fonz for us ! Lol yo that’s crazy
@elbowdropgaming5644 OK but we still looked up to him we didn’t know any better And if you look up to someone and then they pass away it’s right to make a tribute
He was a legend goat
Perfect send up to him. The green candle extinguished sadly is the perfect metaphor of him leaving.
I have a lot of sad feelings about his passing and the way he died. It’s so trite to say he was my hero - but he sorta was, when I was a young kid. Him and Billy where the ones I gravitated to the most. Even all these years later, he remained a presence in the power rangers community and lore, and I really appreciated that kind of dedication.
We’ll all miss him in different ways I guess. It’s like you said, it’s just sad.
Again, great send up
Im one of those people who grieves with comedy. For a day or so after his passing, I tried my hardest to be funny or make jokes, but I just couldn't. I didn't know how to react, to feel. A couple of days later, I burst into tears for the first time in 4 years. He was at my local mall back in April, and I regret not going every day. My heart goes out to his friends, family, the PR Community, and all of you.
It's cool to grieve with Comedy because there's nothing wrong with a good laugh
This channel was the first thing I thought of when JDF committed Suicide. Very sad day for us fans. Got to meet him at 2019 San Diego Comic Con and he was full of energy. Rest in Power 😞
I grew up knowing JDF as Dr. Tommy Oliver. He was a mentor and a guide for a bunch of misfits and teens who needed someone to show them what it meant to be a hero. His legacy will never be forgotten in the fandom... and i hope he is well resting among Thuy, Pua, and all the other Rangers who have fallen. Rest in Power JDF. May the Power Protect You and Serve You Well.
Jason David Frank we will miss you. I will miss you 😢 R.I.P. Once a Ranger Always a Ranger May the Power Protect you.
💚🤍❤️🖤
This was so beautifully done. Thank you for being such a great member of the Power Rangers community
The candle... you broke me with the candle, y'all. I mean, just a sobbing ruinous shambles of a man.
This just came to mind: "Remember what we learned? To those who possess the Great Power, all things are possible."
I remember getting the red and green flip heads as a kid for my birthday. They were incredibly hard to find but my mom made it happen. Tommy was apart of my childhood and I’ll carry the memory of how happy I was to get his figure at my birthday all those years ago. I remember jumping up and down at the tv when he came back as the green ranger and retrieved the other rangers coins from Goldar. I never met Jason but he seemed like a fun person. This definitely hit me harder than I was expecting. Thank you Bruno it was a touching video.
He was my hero as a child. I remember when the green with evil Aired I watched it like crazy and then rented the whole VHS set every time I could to rewatch that arc. Turning from evil to good was just amazing to me at that age. As you mentioned Tommy Oliver is still alive but my hero is not. JDF you will be missed and my you rest in the power now and forever.
Power Rangers as an entire whole won’t ever be the same again. He was THE anchor for this franchise. So sad 😢
Dino thunder quote "I maybe old, but I can still pull it off!"
All the rangers after MMPR come and go but no one will forget Tommy Oliver The Green Ranger, White Ranger, Red Zeo Ranger and Black Dino Thunder Ranger. Jason David Frank is a true definition of once a Power Ranger, the person is always a ranger. Rest well JDF, thank you for filling my childhood when i was 6 in 1994 until now. U will never be forgotten
He was also The Red Turbo Ranger 😢 Rest in Power JDF
@@treypizzel72 😱
He was the best
You forgot Red Turbo Ranger.
My sentiments exactly. Same age and everything. I'm currently sitting with my newborn baby and the wife floated the name Oliver... we didn't know if it was a boy or girl but I KNEW what it would be after that name and everything that happened :(
I was fortunate to have met Jason David Frank at MegaCon Orlando three different times. I was hoping to see him again in the future, but after hearing what happened I couldn't believe it. It's a deep loss for all of us growing up with this franchise. He made so much inspiration to us and was a kind and caring person.
My favorite Tommy Oliver moment takes place outside TV in the graphic novel Soul of The Dragon. Just seeing how Tommy has been through so much in his life as a ranger that his final mission is to find his son really brings closure to the character. Even seeing JJ as the next Green SPD Ranger with the Dragon Shield resembling the legacy being carried on, really came as a surprise.
He was my childhood hero. R.I.P Jason David Frank and may the power protect you forever. 😔
RIP Jason David Frank
Truly the heart and soul of Power Rangers! Once a Ranger! Always a Ranger!
When I woke up to the news, I sobbed hard. I just couldn't believe it. JDF was one of my all time favorite PR actors and was just an amazing person. Hope he is resting peacefully now.
Favorite Tommy episode is definitely “return of an old friend” bringing him back as the green ranger to save the other rangers and get their power coins. Such a bass ass moment. As for JDF the man. I wasn’t able to personally meet him. I was at a con he was at and unfortunately I didn’t have enough money to meet him and shake his hand and thank him for the memories. You could definitely feel the power of positive energy near his booth. His line was huge and rightfully so. His spirit and positive message will always live on. Especially though us fans and his friends and family. I know I can speak for all of us when I say we love him and will miss him. It’s up to all of us to gather together and continue to share memories and keep his legacy alive. Thank you Jason David Frank! Rest easy! May the power protect you… ALWAYS!!!
Man i still cant believe he still gone. He really was a living legend in my eyes and changed the lives of every one and how we use to look at power rangers. Tommy made power rangers. He was the best Green to white to Zeo ranger! Zeo is still my favorite. And my favorite episode is when he went out to find Jason to transfer the golden powers before they were lost. Any and all episodes featuring him and Austin St John are totally worth watching and enjoying. Those two are still awesome to this day.
I don't spend much time following the personal lives of famous people, because they really are just a person doing a job. In the past I have become annoyed with how much the series relied on Tommy, instead of focusing on other characters. But now that he's gone, I find that the thought of Tommy never being on the show again really makes me sad. And in addition, I've been hearing all these stories about JDF's generosity and kindness, and as I've watched some of his interviews, I have gotten a better sense of who he was as a person, and I'm really sad that he's gone. I'm sad he was in so much pain, and appeared to be for a while, now. And like him or hate him, the show would NEVER have been as big a success without him
I'm legit crying. I just found out today. Power Rangers is part of my childhood, and Tommy was such a prominent person in my life.
The candle going out before it fully melts feels quite fitting considering the circumstances. Thank you for making this video.
My first power rangers episode was back in black with tommy and after dino thunder my dad sat me down to watch every episode of power rangers from the begin. The grid lost a hero, but the legend of Tommy Oliver will never die.
Elsa: aren’t you a little too old to be doing this Tommy?
Tommy: I may be old, but I can still pull it off 😭🤌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was beautiful, Bruno.
My favorite Tommy episodes will ALWAYS be the ones in Dino Thunder where he was fighting for his life.
Ranger nation. Tommy is not dead he is in the morphin grid having the best time of his life with Trini and the and other rangers. Tommy would not want his Ranger nation to cry he would want us to remember him as a great leader, mentor, and friend. Tommy would also say hold your head up high and never give up on your goals. As for Jason he would say the same thing keep fighting to reach your goal and may the power protect you.
REST IN POWER Green Ranger/Tommy
REST IN PEACE Jason David Frank ❤
Jason David Frank is Not Dead ! Zordon called him back to a higher up , The Power Rangers needed Tommy !
Beautiful powerful tribute. The green candle burning out really got me. I've been a fan of his since the very beginning. He will be forever missed. Rest in peace my hero.
While Tommy was never my favorite Ranger, I loved him in Dino Thunder. Dino Thunder was the first season I saw Jason in, cause I started PR with Wild Force as a kid. So while he's not my favorite, he was still a great actor and Ranger.
I met Jason at a con in Chicago in 2014. My autistic son couldn't make it, so Jason made a video for him telling him to stay strong and that he was sorry my son couldn't be there. Made my boy's year. Rest in Power, man.
Still hard to believe he’s gone. It even hurts knowing I was fortunate to see him in person back in 2018 at power morphicon 6. While I didn’t go and get an autograph or talk to him, knowing I saw him in person is something I’ll never forget. And knowing he’s gone now, I’ll never forget Power Rangers icon. Jason David Frank as Tommy Oliver. Rest in peace JDF. You will not be forgotten from the power rangers fandom.
I met Jason David Frank when I went to Comic Con in Little Rock, Arkansas. When I met him, I felt like I had finished a life goal. Power Rangers has been a part of my life since I was 4. I will never forget
Talk about a better tribute than the actual power rangers tribute
Beautiful Tribute Rest In Peace JDF.
The fact that JDF had the same Birthday as me, it makes the feeling of sadness worse. My Fav moment in the History of Tommy Oliver was when he was revealed as the White Tiger Ranger
Can't wait for the next vlog DividedAsOne to hear from Mia & Jerry feelings of what happened 🤔
i hope Mia is ok - i watch the funeral service live the other day got a bit tearful 🙏
I will try my hardest to remember to come back to this video every year for the anniversary to remember to honour his memories.
I met JDF for the first time in May 2017, as a birthday gift. He was at my local comic con. It was the best birthday gift a kid could ask for. I still can’t believe he’s gone. And what’s worse, by his own hand. Jason, we miss you. 😞💚
Thank you for this tribute. I’ve been a PR fan since the 90’s and sadly never got to meet JDF, but the impact he had on my youth was huge. RIP JDF and thanks for everything. 💚
My heart is heavy. This was beautiful.
Exactly what he explained in your interview is how I felt growing up. The Green Ranger he played gave me confidence, strength and a road map to finding myself as a young man.
JDF himself reminded me of those moments. Watching him as a martial artist still training and acting was awesome. He is/was the embodiment of "Once a Ranger, always a Ranger".
The only time I got to see him in person was at Otakon in 2012. He was such a cool and humble guy and even approached the fans to show off his karate moves, even as security tried to get him to back away and disperse the crowd. My biggest regret is not getting to speak to him personally and tell him how much of an impact he had on my life. You always think there will be another opportunity to meet your heroes but there's never any guarantees in life. When Legend of the Dragon comes out next year it'll definitely be a surreal viewing experience and I hope that the legacy he leaves will continue to be a positive influence on fans around the world.
One of my favorite episodes is "I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger." It's a Christmas tradition in my family to watch it every holiday season!
You know, I lived in Valencia CA for many years. When I was little, my Mom would point out Rising Sun Karate (right next to the Chuckie Cheese lol) whenever we would head that way. Growing up, I would always imagine how it was inside, "Tommy's in there doing all sorts of cool martial arts and Ranger stuff!". My mind would run wild with all sorts of Power Ranger daydreams everytime I'd see it. In reality, Jason was in there giving young people the tools they needed for self discipline, confidence in one's own abilities, and an escape from the outside world where they could simply work on themselves and learn something cool. I never went inside, part of me thinks maybe I should have.
I've been very critical of Jason, and very much fell out of love with the character of Tommy, since back in the Super Megaforce days, hell probably even further back than that. If his passing has taught me anything, it's that there's two sides to the coin of hero worship. There's the obvious kissing of the ground they walk on, and turning them into this monolithic idea or concept, rather than a person. But the flip side, even though I became disillusioned by him, I still was treating him as a monolith. He wasn't Jason the human being, he was JDF "YEEEEEEEEEEA!!!" the convention preformer, the guy leveraging the nostalgia of nerds for profit, the guy who had an ego the size of a megazord, and everything he did was through that lens to me. But after reading so many testimonials, from cast members to fans, of him being genuine, kind, and going out of his way for people, it finally dawned on me that he's just a guy. Something I thought I already understood, and as simple a concept as it is, I clearly did not. He was a complex individual, like all of us, capable of being obnoxious and egotistical, just as much as he was of being a truly good guy who would do a great deal for both the people close to him and a stranger he just met in an autograph line. But most importantly, someone capable of feeling pain, just like all of us, and that's why I want to say that I'm sorry Mr. Frank, you were just a man trying to do his best in life and I treated you like you were above it all, and didn't consider that you could be a person struggling in the same ways that I have. I'm truly sorry if others didn't notice for similar reasons. You deserved better than that.
I never went inside Rising Sun Karate while you were still there, but I thank you for the lesson you've given me anyway Sensei Frank. Rest in peace and thank you for the fond childhood memories, I will cherish them always.
I got to meet him once at a con and it was awesome. I had a custom green ranger helmet in the colors of the black ranger helmet made, and I took it and a few other things to get signed. When I got up there I could only afford to get one thing signed so I took up my helmet. I handed it to him as he was like “you want me to sign this?” I said yes please and he was like “first, real quick” and he pretended to kiss it where the mouth is and took a selfie with it and sent the pic to Johnny Yong Bosch. Then he asked me if this was all, I said that it was all I could afford, and he was like “put the rest up here, I’ll happily sign it!” I asked if he was sure and he said “of course!” He was such an amazing person, a great role model, kind, caring, and much more. Losing you was, is, and will always be heartbreaking and tragic! Jason, you will be missed and never forgotten by your family, friends, and the millions of people whose life you positively impacted on a daily basis, mine included. “Once a ranger, always a ranger! May the power protect you!”
He such inspirational
My favorite Tommy moment is when he became Dino thunder black ranger 😢😢
I had a feeling you were going to do something beautiful and you never disappoint Bruno I love you guys man this has been a terrible week and a terrible month it's been a heartbreaking. I stopped watching and collecting Power Rangers right after lost Galaxy and I grew up and recently I came back to visit my nostalgia revamp My Personal Collection started selling and trading and it helped me get out of my depression that I was falling after I lost two people in my life. I'm actually surprised that Jason David Frank suffered from mental problems and I started digging more and I seen his recent video on CZcams that left me stunned brilliant man such a beautiful person I love that message because I still get bullied and I still get criticize for what I do with my collection but it keeps me focused it keeps me centered and it's just great nostalgic memories when Power Rangers was airing and me playing with my toys that was for me to escape the problems that I grew up around.
Thank you for that beautiful tribute Bruno.
My introduction to Tommy was the 1995 movie with Ivan Ooze. As I started watching the show after that, Jason David Frank’s character of Tommy Oliver helped shape me into the man I am today. Hearing about his death was a gut wrenching experience for me, but at least he’s with his brother Erik and Thuy Trang, who both passed in 2001.
As a kid I didn’t really knew him as the green ranger, I knew him as the Black ranger. Dino Thunder was my first power rangers show and that’s my intro to this wonderful actor. No moment really sticks out but always loved the character Tommy Oliver. Breaks my heart to hear the news, rest in peace.
You will forever live on in our hearts may you rest in peace
the candle has been lit for years.. and november 2022 was when it went out... R.I.P. jdf
It is hard to put into words how Much a person who brought you Joy as a Child meant. Power Rangers was something I grew up on with Friends & Family. I’ll always have those memories and even though J.D.F is Gone his Legacy will Forever be with all of us .As well as my Condolences to his Wife & Children. May the Power Protect Him and Them .
I was able to meet him twice, 5 years ago and 2 months ago... He was genuinely a great guy.
One of my favorite moments in MMPR was when Tommy became the white ranger. Alpha and Zordon were being super secretive about it and surprised the other 5. I still watch to this day all episodes on DVD. I will miss him so much… To anyone having a tough time in life, thoughts of suicide, depression, anything negative, Jesus said “Come to me all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest” Mathew 11:28
Jesus is absolutely real, and He loves each and every one of us. That verse is so true, He’s helped me a lot in my life with my ups and downs, and even my own thoughts of suicide. He cares, and He understands. Anyone who comes to Him, He WILL give you rest by lifting those burdens off your shoulders, because He already took on that weight on the cross. Jesus died on that cross and rose again so you and I can have a new life, a clean slate. Jesus Christ is real, and He is there waiting for us to come to Him.
I will miss Jason so much, I never got a chance to meet him myself, but I have heard from a lot people that he was an amazing person, I wish I could have met him. He was my childhood hero, love you man, may God rest your soul brother, I will never forget you.
Rest in power Hanshi Jason David Frank. 8th degree black belt master, undefeated MMA competitor, founder of Toso Kune Do and owner of the Rising Sun Karate Academy. Legitimate martial arts legend in his own time, and eternal hero to countless millions around the world.
You guys have no idea how many times I had a bad day at school and the only thing that would make me feel better was watching Jason David Frank on TV. He got me through a lot of tough times. Him and the other casts.
My favorite Tommy episode is from Dino Thunder where he gets the black dino and delivers the most epic line in Power Rangers history; "I may be old, but I can still pull it off".
RIP Jason David Frank, I've never gotten the chance to him in person but I see him in my dreams. Once A Ranger, Always A Ranger.
Once a ranger always a ranger
Didn't think you were gonna do it. Guess all the messages were overwhelming. In their defense, you and Mia do some amazing video editing.
Well, thank you. The messages were overwhelming, but I was always going to post something. It was never going to be the same day though. It's probably evident that a lot of time went into this and knowing what to say isn't always so easy for me, especially immediately after.
I meet him a year ago, I was doing for my friend she had epilepsy. He was A fan meeting greet in my home town. I drew him as the green ranger for my friend and he say like it. I’m so glad I met him.
I still can't believe this. Jdf is gone it's to hard to comprehend. I crying right now. This is a huge loss for ranger nation and to power rangers fans across the globe. Like I said in other tributes to jdf, he was the reason why i watched power rangers dino thunder just his return to the franchise, made me all happy inside. Now that he's gone, and piece of my childhood has died.
JDF's legacy spanned multiple generations. If you didn't grow up with him as Tommy the green ranger in MMPR, you grew up with him as Dr. O the black dino ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder. Rest in Power JDF and may the power protect you 💚🤍♥️🖤
I was ever so fortunate to meet Jason 8 years ago when he came through my town on a Con. I'd waited 20 years to meet him and when I finally got through the line, I burst into tears. He asked why I was upset, I told him I'd had the world's biggest crush on him and meeting him was a dream come true. He came around the table and gave me a hug. That Con was my birthday present that year, and he left this earth on my birthday this year. RIP, once a Ranger, always a Ranger.
Once a ranger always a ranger it didn't matter what color you were green white red or black RIP every 90s kids favorite ranger JDF
This is special! Thank you for sharing your love and passion with us ❤
His legacy will never and I mean NEVER be forgotten!
Beautiful tribute.
My favourite Tommy quote will always be “I may be old, but I can still pull it off!” from Dino Thunder, and this is coming from a Mighty Morphin kid! It’s something I plan to say when I take on my stepbrothers in Tekken!
Met JDF at a con here in London a few years ago. He LOVED that I was dressed as the Pink Ranger. So much so he found me on the convention floor just to get a personal picture with me! One of my most treasured memories!
It’s quite chilling to me that the very first Morphicon I was able to attend was also his last one… He may be gone but his memory lives on.
As someone who has battled suicidal thoughts let me just say to everyone: If you’re ever feeling at that point PLEASE seek help! It may take a while to find the right person to help you but keep at it because they ARE out there! It may not always feel like it but there ARE people who care about you and want to help you!
RIP Jason David Frank. We cannot keep losing People like that, I mean, Suicide is not the way to solve your Problems! Seriously guys, talk to someone if you had these thoughts!
I'll never forget watching Dino Thunder as a kid he was just the greatest.
RIP Jason David Frank May your Soul be in Paradise 💔😔
I was watching his power ranger episodes when I found out . Showing my daughter my idol. I lost my family in 2017. Battle with my own demons. I get it. He left us power.
I had always hoped to go to a convention and meet him in person. sad that can't happen now, for me though Tommy was my all time favorite ranger. He always came in when they needed him the most, even when his powers were running out, he stood against evil with everything he had left. He proved that a ranger is more than the powers they have, it's the spirit and determination they have as well.
His is a legacy that will be remembered for generations to come. For those of us that knew him as Tommy, and those that knew him as Jason, he will be missed He gave a light when a lot of kids needed one the most and that light will never go out.
RIP Jason David Frank, Thank you for making our childhoods awesome and amazing.
I had the pleasure to met Jason when he came to Argentina, where i am living, took a picture and sign my green figuarts power ranger. One of my best 5 minutes ever. I started karate when i was a kid just because of PR. Glad I met him but really sad to hear the news. I will always remember him and will always remember the power rangers
I remember watching Dino thunder and when Tommy was telling the his and the power rangers history and then getting his new powers is what made me love power rangers rip Jason David frank
May the power protect him after life, our legendary RANGER...
I was born the year when Jason David Frank suited up as the Black Ranger for Dino Thunder the older I got the more I realized how awesome Power Rangers was and I went back before Neo Saban and Tommy Oliver always became my favorite Ranger in every series but I would have to say I guess my favorite scene was when he finally suited up as the black Dino Thunder Ranger because it's an amazing scene to see him come back and always take the spotlight no matter what color
a great tribute to JDF, he will be greatly missed by all who's lives he touched
I met Jason in July of 2018 I quoted his line from shattered grid and he was amazed so amazed he recorded me quoting his line from shattered grid and posted it as a story on Instagram
Every Dino Thunder episode he appeared in, it was my first ever power rangers show and I’ll never forget JDF/Dr. Tommy Oliver
My heart still hurts this has been the hardest year of my life. Losing my Mom on January 13th who was everything in my life and my only true family. Then Losing my younger step brother in November and now Losing my childhood hero who was my idol and role model for a long time. This has been tough and in February will be my 5yrs clean from heroin. To say that this year was messed up is an understatement and going without a Thanksgiving and also going through Christmas alone at 36 is going to be the hardest thing I never thought I'd have to ever do or consider.
Hey man, I feel you! I'm at a lost of words! I remember always running from school to catch the Power Rangers show on time, I had all the toys they put out! I'm in my late 30's & still a fan. Sorry about your loss's man, I've lost family & friends in the past 3 yrs! I'm afraid who will be next! I wouldn't ever take my life, I treasure life so much to even think of doing something like that! I have bad depression & anxiety, but somewhere in my head tells me to keep moving forward, even at my lowest point! As there is no other direction to go, so whatever we may have or who we may have left, cherish it or them, cause there's no telling what will happen the next day! And if there's no one to be with, find someone that may need that same company, you never how much worst someone else has it. You may not have a lot or anyone, but at least you have life, & that's enough for you to keep pulling through! Also keep yourself real busy with any hobby or something, as Idle hands are the devil's playground! Sorry for the long tale, but I like & try to spread nothing but positivity, as it helps a lot to hear & helps me beat this dark cloud that's always hovering over me, but won't ever let it take over, I'm mentally stronger than it! I wish you the best, & many blessings for you to come!! #HeresToLife🍻
@MEMPHISBUTCHA You are a good person and have a good heart and the thing that hurts the most is having a good and big heart in a very very heartless world that would just let someone die on the sidewalk as to try and save a life and that's the devastating thing no one try's to help each other. I know that there are some who help each other and I've always been the type to help others because I like feeling like I can make it a better place or try my best. Well thanks again brother for your kind words and I do good most days and I never want to go down that path but I have been noticing a change in my depression and having short periods of thoughts that have been going down a bad place. It's even more difficult that I'm a guy who isn't supposed to show weakness, or emotions we are just supposed to suck it up and walk it of and hide what we feel inside and hardly even have anyone who will take the time to listen or ask the hard questions.
This hurts me deep to the soul , and JDF was my hero. I just wish I've could've been his hero also. R.I.P

Jason David Frank was a great man I'm grateful that played Tommy Oliver and Green Ranger and White Ranger and Red Zeo Ranger 5, The Red Lighting Turbo Ranger, Black Dino Ranger, when you watch Power Rangers you see Tommy Oliver all 200 episodes and power rangers movies, cameos in Power Rangers Mega Force and Power Rangers Ninja Steel, may Jason David Frank Rest In Peace and may the power protect you.
GoGo Green Ranger 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
May the power protect you Tommy Oliver
To JDF. He was the face of the franchise. I truly believe it wouldnt of endured this long without him. Rip
Rest In Peace Jason David Frank
As you no longer need its protection, I pray the power provide you perpetual peace.
Though your Fire has gone dark, your legacy ensures that the Flame still burns.
I met him last year at my local comic shop. As apart of the power protection program. And he was so genuine, kind and took the time to actually engage in conversation and listen to what I had to say. I also told how much power rangers and the first movie means to me and had him sign on it, “anything is possible!” Like he says at the end of the 95 movie. He loved that idea and never had anyone ask that on an autograph before. I’m going to cherish that memory. But beautiful tribute Bruno. Rest in power Jason!
Fave episode: Forever Red. ‘Nuff said lol
Can't go wrong with that
As sad and heartbroken as I was...still am, I did smile knowing we were going to get a very heartfelt and loving tribute from you guys. Thank you Bruno, Mia, and Jerry this was beautiful. Also, Bruno I know how much PR means to you ( No, Really?? lol) and for you to speak and not get emotional and break down says so much. The Ranger community is so fortunate to have you all.
I have been lucky to see him in several conventions and each had a specific memory. But my absolute favorite memory was the first time I saw him. I had brought my wife and a few family members with me and a couple pages full of power ranger cards. I went to his table and started the business portion to come to realize that I could only afford two autos. So, I got to meet him and I was very excited and he spoke to me for a few minutes while signing my two cards. After the small talk he then asked “what else you got for me to sign.” I said thanks but no because I only payed for two. He then said “don’t worry about it.” As he proceeded to sign almost my entire set plus did a free photo opp with my family. By far one of the nicest celebrity meet up ever. I’ll never forget it. Rest in Power😢
My ringtone has been the Dragonzord summoning tune for about 6 years now. Once I figured out how to make my own ringtones. If not for Jason David Frank I wouldn't STILL be a Power Rangers fan.
That was a very beautiful tribute you did!
he’s one of those childhood heroes you never stopped thinking about
Best JDF memory. Nov 19th, 2021 I was sick with COVID. JDF was here in Grand Rapids Michigan and my brother went to meet him. Not only did he get a picture signed for me he recorded a short video and JDF was nice enough to FaceTime me. We talked for 3 minutes and it was the best 3 minutes of my life. R.I.P Jason, may the power protect you.
I'd say one of the highly memorable things that stood out to me that was amazing about Jason David Frank, was what he was doing over these past couple of years alone. how during covid he was going around to a lot of comic book and hobby stores some may have been good and some may have been struggling without conventions to draw new customers and make money to pay the bills. and in his traditional giveback fashion, seeing as conventions were no longer available JDF went to the fans and visited those mom-and-pop stores which probably did wonders for so many in so many ways. it reminded me of a Neal Adams story about batman and bruce Wayne, where batman was powerless to help a mother struggling to pay bills and keep the house, but bruce Wayne however was far more capable of aiding that mother than batman ever could. in this case, Tommy Oliver was highly limited in helping these mom and pop stores during the pandemic, but JDF, on the other hand, proved to more than capable of helping those in need of even one more good business day to make it to the other side. it wasn't just JDF the power ranger actor, but JDF the great man serving his community.
May the power protect him now and forever
He was a great ranger and always will be
I hope his only son will grow up fast to carry out his legacy one day. It is really cool to have a story in which the master morpher is passed on to his son.
He has 2 sons who are grown men and 2 daughters so I'm not sure what son you are referring to
Any time I saw him at a con I would always bring him a sugar free redbull he brought happiness to every fan he met. May the power protect him💚
RIP JDF may you find peace and be reunited with your mother and brother we will miss you
It's so tragic JDF is gone. I met him at my first convention ever and it was such an awesome experience. He always knew how to make a connection with fans and light up a room. He was always there for the fans, I wish he could have gotten the help he needed.
