I’m still in shock from hearing this; that David Jason Frank of Power Rangers fame has died aged 49. That really is no age to have your life end. If there was one person in my life that was my first idol, it was JDF. He was just the kind of person I’d have given anything to be. Not in terms of his martial arts ability but because of the way he seemed confident enough to handle anything. And I’ve followed his example as close as I can for all these years.

Part of me just can’t believe he is gone. I’m sure that’s nothing to the pain his friends and family must be feeling and my heart goes out to them all at this time. Still..it just is so sudden and I can’t wrap my head around it. Or my heart. Also on this day I can’t help my thoughts turning to the equally tragic passing of Thuy Trang so many years ago. To have lost two of my childhood icons so early in thier lives is almost unbelievable. I will be drinking a toast to them both tonight. I hope she is there to greet him on this next stage of his existence. May The Power protect them both.
