Jonathan Joss, the actor renowned for voicing John Redcorn in the
animated series King of the Hill, tragically passed away on June
1, 2025, at the age of 59. He was fatally shot outside his San Antonio, Texas,
home during a confrontation with his neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, who has
been charged with murder.
Joss's husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, reported that the
incident was preceded by homophobic slurs from Ceja. The couple had previously
faced threats related to their same-sex relationship, including a house fire
earlier in the year that destroyed their home and claimed the lives of their
three dogs. Despite these challenges, Joss remained active in his career and
was set to reprise his role as John Redcorn in the upcoming King of the Hill revival, scheduled to premiere on Hulu on
August 4.
Joss's contributions to television extended beyond King of the Hill; he also appeared in shows like Parks and Recreation and Tulsa King. His untimely death has
left a significant impact on fans and the entertainment community, highlighting
ongoing concerns about violence and discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ individuals.
As the investigation continues, Joss is remembered for his talent, resilience, and the legacy he leaves behind in the world of animation and beyond.
