With profound sorrow and heartbreak, the family of Gunner Frank announces his sudden and tragic passing. Gunner, the cherished son of Power Rangers actor Erik Frank and nephew of the late Power Rangers legend Jason David Frank, left this world far too soon, leaving an unfillable void in the hearts of his family and all who knew him.
His loss has not only deeply affected his family and friends but has also resonated throughout the extended fan community, who have long admired the Frank family for their contributions to entertainment and their enduring legacy of inspiration.
Though heartbreakingly brief, Gunner’s life was filled with light, love, and laughter. Known for his kind heart, playful nature, and infectious smile, he had an extraordinary ability to make everyone feel seen, welcomed, and valued.
Friends and family remember his quick wit, playful spirit, and quiet strength, which offered comfort and reassurance to those around him. His gift for bringing joy into the lives of others will be deeply missed.
Family was at the center of Gunner’s world. He loved fiercely and unconditionally, and those closest to him often spoke of the deep bond he shared with his parents, siblings, and extended relatives. He was not only a devoted son but also a beloved brother, nephew, cousin, and uncle—roles he carried with pride and love. His absence will be felt in every family gathering, every shared memory, and every moment where his presence once brought comfort and laughter.
As the Frank family navigates this unimaginable loss, the community has rallied to support them. A fundraiser has been established to help with funeral and memorial expenses and to allow the family the time and space they need to grieve. Contributions of any size, along with acts of sharing memories or offering prayers, are deeply appreciated. The family has expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love, noting that even in tragedy, the kindness of others brings comfort.
Gunner’s passing adds another heartbreaking chapter for a family that has already endured tremendous grief. His father, Erik Frank, portrayed Tommy Oliver’s long-lost brother David Trueheart in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Zeo before his untimely passing in 2001. His uncle, Jason David Frank, known worldwide as the Green and White Ranger, passed away in 2022. Gunner’s life, though brief, reflects the enduring strength and love of the Frank family, which continues to bind them together through tragedy.
Though his time was tragically short, Gunner’s legacy of laughter, kindness, and love for family will live on in the hearts of those who cherished him.
As the family shared:
“We will miss Gunner every single day until we meet again, but his love and light will live on in each of us forever.”
