The 52-year-old actress wrote on Instagram on Sunday (20.11.2022): "Jase, you were beautiful and truly unique. My life just won't be the same without your frenetic, hilarious, caring, driven and creative ball of energy. I will always love you, dear friend. Please Rest now In Peace..."
Walter Jones - who played Zack Taylor, the Black Ranger - admitted he couldn't "believe" the sad news about Jason no longer being with us.
The 51-year-old actor wrote on Instagram: "Can't believe it.... RIP Jason David Frank. My heart is sad to have lost another member of our special family. #jasondavidfrank #jdf #walterejones #greenranger #whiteranger #mmpr #maythepowerprotectyou #tommy."

Jason was not the first cast member to tragically pass away as Thuy Trang - who played the Yellow Ranger - passed away aged 27 in 2007.
