Too young. He must've been struggling.

sharePower Rangers such a cheesy show but it had its fans. Sad to see him go by suicide.
shareAccording to the article the cause of death is not yet officially known and it's a rumor that he died by suicide. I guess we'll see if that is actually the case. It certainly does seem strange that a 49-year-old in-shape dude would die by natural causes.
This really is quite shocking. I actually met him once and got his autograph. I certainly would not have thought at the time that I'd be reading about his death just a few years later.
Was he nice?
shareIt was a very brief encounter. It was an autograph signing with a huge line so I only got to exchange a few words with him.
Mostly I just remember telling him I thought the White Ranger vs Scorpion video was really cool--if you haven't seen that you should check it out--and I asked him if that was him in the suit when the White Ranger had his helmet on. He said it wasn't. That was not a surprise to me, because I thought the actor moved too well for a guy in his mid-40s and the style also just didn't look right for JDF.
EDIT: Here's that video if you want to see it.

This should be a series on YouTube.
shareIt was, sort of. Look up Super Power Beat Down and you'll find a whole series of videos that match up various fictional characters in epic fights.
If the quality of action in this video was actually what we saw in Power Rangers, the show would've been a lot cooler.
Wow, that one took me a while to process. The guy was my favorite ranger on MMPR.
