best
known
for

He
was
a
true

fights
he
competed
in.

Take
a

at
his
post

Frank’s

Mighty
Morphin
Power
Rangers
co-star
Walter
Emmanuel
Jones
too
mourned
his
death.
Posting
an
old
picture
on
Instagram
with
the
whole

Power
Rangers
gang
including
Frank,
Jones
wrote,
“Can’t
believe
it….
RIP
Jason
David
Frank
(folded-hands

My
heart
is
sad
to
have
lost
another
member
of
our
special
family.”

For
the
universe,
their
co-star
Thuy
Trang
passed
away
in
2001
at
the
age
of
27
in
a
car
accident.
He
played
the
role
of
the
Yellow
Power
Ranger
in
the
series.

Coming
back
to
the
show,

Power
Rangers
revolved
around
five
teenagers
who
were
assigned
to
protect
Earth
from
evil.
The
show
made
its
TV
premiere
on
Fox
in
1993
and
went
on
to
become
a
cultural
sensation.
Frank’s
Tommy
Oliver
was
first
portrayed
as
a
villain
in
the
first
season
after
being
brainwashed
by
the
wicked
Rita
Repulsa.
But
soon
after,
he
was
accepted
into
the
team
as
the
Green
Ranger
and
rose
to
prominence
as
one
of
the
show’s
most
loved
characters.

Frank
is
survived
by
four
children,
three
from
his
first
wedding
with
Shawna
Frank
and
one
from
his
marriage
with
Tammie
Frank.

May
his
soul
rest
in
peace.
