Man, this really sucks. And so young too, he was only a few years older than me.

Absolutely devastated right now.

Absolutely shocking. Felt numb at first and now just a wave of emotion has hit me. This sucks. RIP Jason David Frank.

Celebrity deaths are always strange for me. I very rarely feel the kind of impact others do, aside from a few- Carrie Fisher, Chester Bennington, and Chris Cornell all come to mind. And now him. And... I really can't explain how I feel about it because the man was a very complicated figure. He was simultaneously a representative of Power Rangers as a whole at its best, and also at its worst. Everyone here, myself included, has had thoughts on him ranging from The Greatest Ranger to That Showboating Jerk and everything in between and beyond.

But knowing he's gone, is... like a chunk of the night sky has gone out. Or say that you've spent years living on the same street, and there's this big house out on the corner, visible from just about everywhere near by. You don't know who, if anyone, lives in it, you don't know who owns it, but it's always just been there. And one day you leave that street, move away. And then, years later, you come back, and that big house is gone. You don't know how, or why, and none of that really matters because the fact is that it was there, and now it's not, and now your whole world feels empty because you remember so clearly that it was there.

That's where I'm at. The world just feels emptier now, however I felt about him. I just hope he's at peace now.

S-S-SUICIDE. WHAT?!

I c-can't believe this. Jason David Frank, the guy who played Tommy Oliver, dead by SUICIDE?

Especially being dead at 49. My dad is older than 49, so that's young.

But suicide. I mean, there has to be a reason. Were there ANY warning signs? Because this... this is sudden. For such a big celebrity to choose to end his own life, I mean, suicide has to have a reason. No one would simply kill themselves without a cause.

I don't even have much of a connection to the Power Rangers Franchise. This is coming from a fan of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider and not really a Ranger Fan. This is coming from a person who doesn't have a connection with Tommy Oliver. It is just shocking to hear that such a famous face who built so many people's childhoods as Tommy Oliver, the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, a man who practically was the backbone of 90s Kids' Childhoods dies at 49 Years Old by suicide.

Oh geez.

The man never turned his back on the fans and the franchise. He embraced em both. I can’t imagine what he had to be going through to end it all. May he find peace.
