Jason David Frank is being remembered by his daughter Jenna Frank on what would’ve been his fiftieth birthday. The late Power Rangers star was paid tribute by his daughter with a heartwarming post on Instagram.
“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,” Jenna wrote in a post accompanied by a photo of herself and her father holding a birthday ballon and gummi bears. “I picked you up at the airport you were so happy to see me. 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 continued, “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. Happy 50th b-day pops! You always would tell me I’m your biggest angel. Now you’re mine.”
Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers co-star Amy Jo Johnson replied to the post saying, “I love you @jennarfrank, you are an incredible woman.”
