Just a very sad situation.
He is still one of the things that first come to mind if somebody mentions Power Rangers, despite me not watching it in decades.

I was hoping this was some shitty hoax. We've been losing so many good peeps to suicide lately. Keep telling your loved ones they are loved.

Heartbreaking situation. He was the Power Ranger almost all of us as kids wanted to play at least once. Heck, he popularized what’s basically the “cool sixth ranger” trope. All of my condolences to his loved ones.

Him and Kofi had just stopped wearing their White/Green ranger gear not too long ago I can see them bringing it back and Ronda bringing back her gear as well as tribute

R.I.P. ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) I'm pretty sure green is my favorite color because of him.

Hard to put into words just how influential he was not just to this franchise but to kids everywhere at the time.
Power Rangers got kids into martial arts but it was Tommy who made it cool.
Green with Evil was where my true appreciation for longer more complex storytelling really started.
His introduction as the green ranger changed so many things as far as I believe for childrens television at the time.
He is not my personal favourite ranger but his influence is undeniable.
RIP JDF/Green/White/Zeo 5/Red Turbo/Black Dino Ranger.

Damn, well I knew when this thread went from 4 posts to 3 pages that it must have not been a hoax.

There's so much additional heartbreak because Jason was such a public and effective ambassador for Power Rangers for a long time. When you thought of the series, you often thought of him. Frank being as proud of the show as he was and the legacy Tommy had as a character was meaningful to so many fans gong back decades.

Such a huge part of my childhood. The green/white ranger was one of the coolest characters across all fandoms. Had all the toys but my green ranger was definitely the most prized. He sounded like such a great guy and cherished his fans.
RIP

He embraced by the energy the fandom gave him. And he didn't make the time we spent being fans feel like a waste. We are losing so many people who have completed the circle. Who give as much as much as they have given.

Every kid on the playground wanted to be him when they pretended to be Power Rangers. He was the one you naturally gravitated towards when you watched and that was because of JDP’s natural charisma.
R.I.P. This news is just grim on so many different levels. Please. If anyone is struggling in a similar manner, reach out and find someone. They’re there. Even if it doesn’t seem like it on the surface. There’s always someone willing to help.

One of my favourite badass Tommy moments doing what no one else try to do and just straight up attack the Megazord in a complete awesome give no f***s moment.
