Damn!!!! The Reaper never rests. First it was Legendary Batman VA,Kevin Conroy,Then Legendary Comedian Gallagher,and now Another Legend has fallen. A person that we all thought was gonna live for a long time - Jason David Frank aka Tommy Oliver aka The Chuck Norris of Power Rangers.
JDF's death came as a shock to the world. Even more shocking is that he took his own life. Even I still can't believe that he's gone and that he commuted suicide at age 49. Damn!!!!!
JDF is best known as Tommy Oliver,the face of the Entire Power Rangers Franchise. He was the Mighty Morphin' Green Ranger (one of the coolest rangers),The Mighty Morphin' White Ranger,The Red Zeo Ranger aka Zeo Ranger 5,The Red Turbo Ranger (for a very short time),and The Black Dino Ranger.
Due to his overall popularity,Tommy Oliver became the face of the entire Power Rangers Franchise. After Power Rangers and various failed acting gigs,JDF got into Mixed Martial Arts,where he won 4 armature fights and 1 pro fight.
Martial Arts was the Man's passion,ever since he was young. JDF has an 8th Dan Black Belt in Shotokan Karate,a Black Belt in Wado-ryu Karate,a Black Belt in Taekwondo,a Black Belt in Judo,a Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,and an Ajarn Degree in Muay Thai.
Wow. what an accomplishment,huh?. He even created his own Martial Art,Toso Kune Do is an eclectic martial art and self-defense method. He even has his own Martial Arts Academy,The Rising Sun Karate School.
JDF was one of the greatest Martial Artists in the World and a Hero to millions of Power Rangers fans. Retro Rebellion salutes the life and career of The Legendary,Jason David Frank. Thank You for everything,JDF. We will all miss you.
RIP
Jason David Frank

Also,sinse Jason didn't cover him..I Will. Gallagher was a Fun Stage Comedian who smashed things (mostly watermelons) with his trusty wooden sledgehammer as the main part of his routine. Gallagher was most active during the 80's and early 90's,though he did some stuff after those years. For more than 30 years, he played between 100 and 200 shows a year,destroying tens of thousands of melons with the sledgehammer he called the "Sledge-O-Matic".
Thanks for the laughs and memories,my friend. You were a true Entertainment Legend.
R.I.P.
Leo Anthony Gallagher Jr.

Thanks for covering for me. JDF's passing was so sudden, so fast. And I was still mourning over the loss of Kevin Conroy. As for Gallagher, I didn't even know he was still alive until the announcing of his passing. Don't worry, I will do some memorial fanart for those people who have since passed. Why do good people have to die?
Hey. What are good friends for. And even though it didn't seem like it,I too was saddened by the death of Kevin Conroy when I first heard about his death. He was the Best Animated Batman. I just realize that we now have 2 Batmen in Heaven.
Yeah, he was, and always will be. And now, like you said, at least he is with Adam West now.
