Jones, who portrayed Zack Taylor the Black Ranger told Fox News Digital, &#8220;It is so sad. He was an inspiration to so many people. His presence will be dearly missed. It\u2019s so sad to lose another member of our Ranger family. Jason was one of the biggest pranksters on the show. He had a wild sense of humor. We had our shares of ups and downs but I stayed consistent about being an ear if he needed one. My prayers go out to his family and all that will miss him.
