Friday the 13th fans, one of our own is going though some tough times…

According to Horror News Network, Jason Voorhees is loosing a few limbs of his own. After helping bring Jason Voorhees to life in Friday the 13th Part 2, Steve Dash is experiencing terrible health concerns.

Updating his fans on Facebook, the former stuntman was already dealing with being diabetes, blood clots and a bad heart but now must have a leg amputated. Currently hospitalized, the amputation is due to side effects from the diabetes. Undoubtedly unfortunate, Dash is keeping in high spirits however by looking forward to golfing on his new artificial leg. If that doesn’t offer inspiration, I’m not sure what will.

Debuting in the spring of ’81, Friday the 13th Part 2 helped really jump start the franchise — and a big part of that is Dash. Known to millions as “Sack Jason” (Warrington Gillette who?), the actor is a comedic hit at horror cons across the country. Honestly, he’s is one of the most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. Not that anyone does, but he didn’t deserve this….

1428 Elm wishes Steve Dash a speedy recovery. We know if he can kill teens so effortlessly onscreen, the Friday the 13th alum can overcome this.
