Parks and Recreation alum Jonathan Joss died at age 59 in June 2025.

The actor’s husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, confirmed his death in a Facebook post at the time.

“My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home in San Antonio, Texas. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire,” the statement shared via Joss’ Facebook read at the time. “We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.”

Kern de Gonzales alleged that the incident was a hate crime after he and Joss experienced “openly homophobic” harassment.
