    Apparently a suicide which really confuses me...
    What could\'ve driven him to do it when he\'s loved by millions?

    Loneliness? There are lots of things that could do it, after all this "loved by millions" is superficial. Sometimes you just needs a few people to love you, not millions to be happy. It's hard to answear and perhaps it shouldn't.

    Like I said in the In Memoriam section, if you’re ever feeling this way, there ARE numbers that can help you.

    If necessary 988 is the primary number to call/reach out to that will definitely be there

    he also played the red ranger in Power rangers Zeo and Black ranger in Dino thunder. Only actor to play 4 different colors of ranger, American actor at least quite possible a Japanese actor did the same or more in the super sentai series.

    :rip  Jason

    The last couple of years have been really hard for him
    Earlier this year he went through a divorce and last year his step-daughter also took her own life...

    There will always be people going through rough times even if they don't look like it. Always reach out to other people if you're having it hard or if you think someone else is

    Said this in another thread for him but

    RIP JDF another childhood icon of the 90s. What I enjoy most about him was he was an actual marital artist which to this day gives him such more legitimate feel when watching Power Rangers. No matter how cheesy it was his athletic skill did add to the show.

    With him and Conroy I would say less than 2 weeks apart we basically did loss the two biggest superheroes of 90s TV. Batman TAS and Power Rangers were staples of the 90s who would have thought we lose two of the leading stars so closely.

    From what I’ve heard he just went through a divorce.

    It’s really hard for me to stomach this, one of the seasons I grew up with was Dino Thunder, and I had no idea how much he had been involved in the show prior to that until a flashback episode. RIP Mr. Frank, and thank you for being a role model for many of us.

    You never know the demons that someone is fighting inside. Men are trained to not show our emotions and to just make things work that sometimes we lose the fight to our inner demons. Think Robin Williams, someone that brought cheer and laughter to everyone around the world.

    I know he was going through a divorce as well so that can do numbers on someone.

    Got into Power Rangers cause of Dino Thunder and he always had such an insane prensence as Dr. O. I didn't really understand at the time cause I was just a kid, but when he stepped onto the battlefield I knew shit was gonna get real. JDF was a legend and didn't deserve that struggle. Gonna miss him big time.

    Brings sadness toy heart.  He was my favorite ranger growing up.  I loved watching his martial arts style.  He will be missed.  So unexpected.
