I regret to inform you, that Jason David Frank, has passed away. While details surrounding his death are unknown. However some reports say he took his own life. This came at a huge shock to me, because this was moments after another hero of mine passed away. Kevin Conroy, whom many of you know as the quintessential voice actor for Batman. Needless to say I just watched my childhood die twice.

Jason "Fearless" David Frank, got his start in life as a Martial Artist as a Shotokan Karate Practicioner since he was a kid, in terms of his marital arts prowess around the time of his death he has become an 8th Dan Black Belt in Shotokan and has also filled his palette with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wado-Ryu, Muai Thai, Taekwondo, Judo, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do and Aikido, before he eventually came up with his own style. Toso Kune Do or "Way of The Fighting Fist." as opposed to Jeet Kune Do "Way of The Intercepting Fist."

However if you're like me, you know that his real claim to fame was when he got started in a popular 90s Television show "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" in which he played Tommy Oliver aka the Green Ranger, White Ranger, Red Zeo Ranger, Red Turbo Ranger I and finally The Black Dino Thunder Ranger. When the show began for him, he was only contracted for 14 episodes, however due to his popluarity of the Green Ranger skyrocketing, they tried to keep him on longer even with the sentai footage long since over, due to the death of his counterpart Yamato Tribe Knight Burai of Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. However while many know him as the badass hero that transcended throughout the franchise, I first knew him as the Evil Green Ranger:

On top of Power Rangers and some other films and shows, Frank leaves behind Rising Sun Karate, the school he opened in an effort to get more kids interested in martial arts as well as a long career in Mixed Martial Arts under the name Jason Fearless Frank.

Frank's demise is one of many things that surround the Power Rangers name including but not limited to the death of his brother Erik Frank, whom guest starred on Zeo as well as the unfortunate demise of Thuy Trang aka Trini the Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger I.

The man was literally one of the first heroes I've ever laid eyes on when I was a kid outside watching the usual Batman, Spider-man and DC animated stuff. My regret on the matter is that I never got a chance to meet him. From what I've seen over the years, the man save for a few feuds is as salt of the earth as one can get.

So in tribute to a great person I shall share with you the theme song that got him into super stardom:

Rest in Peace Jason and may the power protect you.
