Along with his more than 20 years as a Power Ranger, Frank trained professionally as an MMA fighter and owned a couple of Karate schools. He also co-founded a Christian-based MMA apparel company named Jesus Didn’t Tap.

“We came up with Jesus Didn’t Tap. That means He didn’t quit, He didn’t give up — tap out,” Frank shared with CBN News in a 2014 interview where he opened up about his Christian faith.

“He could have tapped, snapped anytime. He could have just called thousands and thousands of angels if he wanted to,” he continued. “Tap out is an expression I can give mentally and physically, I give up, I give up. He never did that.”

During the interview, Frank shared that his wife invited him to church following his brother’s death. “I didn’t really understand what the whole church thing was about, and then, when I lost my brother, it was like people were telling me I need God and all that stuff, and I was like, ‘If one more person tells me that, then that is what it is,'” he shared at the time.

Little was mentioned about his faith in recent years, but according to Marty of the Christian rap group Social Club Misfits, Frank was a big Christian hip-hop fan.

“Couple of years ago I met Jason in Texas. He was a huge Christian hip-hop fan. Super down to earth. Loved Andy, loved Kb, loved Social Club. He would always ask me to pray for his daughter. Over the years we would randomly text each other. We would laugh about the nostalgic world of power rangers. He was a hero for me and a lot of us growing up,” he wrote in social media along with a photo of a news headline announcing Frank’s death.

“Reading this breaks my heart, I’m praying for his family and friends. You literally never know what people are battling in private. I don’t know what to say. I’m at a loss for words,” Marty concluded.

Frank is survived by his wife and four grown children.
