James Navarro is Tyler's long lost father who became bonded to the Aqua Energem while saving his friend Rusty during a cave-in, which turned him into the Aqua Dino Charge Ranger and stopped his body's aging process.
When the dark energem is destroyed it formed a black hole and sucked Sledge and his ship to a different universe. In an alternate timeline he was destroyed when the 5 other rangers took control of Sledge's ship. When Sledge took control of Odius's ship after her death, he was destroyed by a bomb.
