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.
