The Our Lady of the Lake University grad is survived by his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales, whom he wed on Valentines Day.

Jonathans last IMDb-credited gig was voicing characters for CD Projekt REDs video game Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in 2023 alongside Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba.

Joss also voiced the character Healing in Paul McComas and Holly Trastis animated drama Unplugged alongside the late Louis Gossett Jr., the late Ed Asner, Christina Ricci, and Jeri Ryan.

But the charismatic actor of Native descent is best known for voicing musician and healer John Redcorn, who embarked on a 14-year-long affair with anchorwoman Nancy Hicks-Gribble (Ashley Gardner), on the Fox animated sitcom from seasons 2-13.

In a since-deleted post, Jonathan wrote that he felt shut out of the King of the Hill reunion at ATX TV Festival in Austin last Friday attended by co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels as well as actors Pamela Adlon, Lauren Tom, and Toby Huss.

On January 23, Joss suffered the loss of his three beloved dogs when his childhood home, that his father built in 1957, burned to the ground.

The long-haired star also lost his car in the blaze, but the GoFundMe organized by Logan Kostroun successfully raised $10,721 from a $15K goal.
