Frosty the Snowman Voice Actor Jackie Vernon Had 3 Secret Families

“From these marriages, he had sons, and he named them all Ralph after himself—after his original name, Ralph Verrone,” David shared. “But he also abandoned all these families, moved on.”

As Jackie advanced in age, he battled depression and addiction, which David described as “a hard struggle” for the comedian. But in his final years before his death in 1987 at age 63, Jackie came to find joy in Frosty’s evergreen quality.  

“One of the last Christmases that my dad was around, we all watched it together and he was so proud of it,” David recalled. “He enjoyed it, he laughed at it. He was so happy he had done it and it became a very warm spot in his heart that I loved seeing that for him.”
