Power Rangers star Jason David Frank’s heartbroken daughter pays tribute to him on what would have been his 50th birthday: ‘I still can’t believe you’re gone’

Power Rangers star Jason David Frank’s daughter, Jenna, paid tribute to her late father by sharing a post to her Instagram account on Monday.

The actor’s child, who shared the post on what would have been his 50th birthday, shared two recent photos featuring her dad, and she also included a sweet throwback snap from his younger years. 

The daughter of the star, who passed away last year, also wrote a lengthy message in her post’s caption to express her feelings about the loss of her father.

Jenna, 19, began by reflecting on how she spent time with Frank on his 49th and final birthday. 

‘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,’ she wrote.

The actor’s daughter then revealed that she shared an exceptionally close relationship with her late father, who was best known for his portrayal of Tommy Oliver throughout various shows in the Power Rangers franchise. 

‘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,’ she wrote.

Jenna also wrote that she grew particularly close to her father as they underwent respective battles with mental health.

‘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,’ she wrote.

The actor’s daughter concluded her emotional message by wishing the late performer a happy birthday. 

‘Happy 50th b-day pops! You always would tell me I’m your biggest angel. Now you’re mine,’ she wrote.

Frank shared Jenna with his second wife, Tammie, whom he married in 2003.

The former couple began divorce proceedings in 2022, although they had been attempting to reconcile at the time of his death by suicide, which took place last November.
