In honor of what would have been Jason David Frank’s 50th birthday, his daughter Jenna shared a heartfelt and powerful tribute to her father on social media. It was quite a blow to fans when we learned that the Power Rangers actor had passed away.
According to reports, the actor and mixed martial artist died in Texas due to suicide, which made the whole thing so much harder. I can’t even imagine the pain and sorrow that Frank’s family has been going through. But, this is what Jenna had to say on social media:
“I can’t put my pain into words. I still can’t believe you’re gone. I was with you on your birthday last year. I picked you up at the airport you were so happy to see me. You are my book to life, You taught me everything I know. You are more than just my dad. You are my very best friend, my partner in crime, my brother. You are everything in one. We struggled with the same mental problems. You always understood me when nobody else did I WILL win this battle for you. I will break the curse. I promise. Happy 50th b-day pops! You always would tell me I’m your biggest angel. Now you’re mine.”
I’m just going to let that speak for itself. But if you are struggling with mental health and have thoughts of suicide, please look for help, please talk to someone. The suicide and crisis lifeline is 988. It provides 24/7 free and confidential support for people who are in distress.
