RIP Jason David Frank (the Green Power Ranger)

Suicide at 49. Crazy. And this is coming from someone who is basically shocked by nothing anymore.

A sad day for me and my fellow millennials, no matter which Power Ranger was your favorite.

never got into that show, however I did make a parody of it called "The Mighty Morphine Powder Rangers". Basically oh no the city is being destroyed and then they snort morphine and sleep through it. Hey I was 16 at the time.

I've lost a couple friends to suicide, and my girlfriend just lost a former coworker with whom everything seemed fine. As much as it hurts to lose anyone you care about, all the "what if"s after suicide sure take an extra toll. I'm at the older end of the millennials and I didn't watch Power Rangers, but I'm certainly sorry to hear this. What a shame.

Infidelity was involved according to an article I read.

A comment from the article was a touching story I would like to share (which was on the internet so it has to be true). A father took his son to some promotion where the Green/White Power Ranger was signing autographs. The son didn't have any money and the father couldn't afford a poster to get signed.

The shop owner saw the issue and took them in back for a few minutes. The Power Ranger came back for a private meet and greet and gave the kid a signed poster. Note, Dimebag Darrell did something similar with a guitar once.

Stories like these need to be shared for several reasons.

side note about suicide. You're going to make a lot of people a lot sadder then you probably think you will.
