Residents of San Antonio come together to support one of their own after a tragic loss.
San Antonio actor Jonathan Joss, known for his roles in ‘King of the Hill’ and ‘Parks and Recreation’, suffers a tragic loss when a fire destroys his childhood home and claims the lives of three of his beloved dogs. Joss expresses feelings of responsibility for the disaster that occurred when he used a barbecue grill indoors, leading to the catastrophic event.
San Antonio has been rocked by a tragic event that has left one of its beloved residents reeling from grief and loss. Jonathan Joss, known to many for his charming voice as John Redcorn on the animated series King of the Hill and for his role as Chief Ken Hotate in Parks and Recreation, recently experienced a catastrophic house fire that claimed not only his childhood home but also the lives of three of his dogs.
On a seemingly ordinary Thursday afternoon, around 1 p.m., disaster struck at a vacant residence located in the 200 block of Dorsey Drive. Reports indicate that Joss and his partner, in an effort to keep warm and enjoy a cozy lunch, had resorted to using a barbecue grill inside the house. Unfortunately, the home was devoid of gas and electricity at the time, setting the stage for the tragic events that would unfold.
Upon leaving for lunch, they left the grill behind, unaware that it would lead to disaster shortly after. Although fire crews responded and managed to extinguish the flames, they returned only to find the once-familiar layout reduced to embers and ash, leaving nothing but smoldering loss in its wake.
In the aftermath of the fire, Joss found himself grappling with a heavy heart, feeling a weight of responsibility for the loss. He openly expressed that he felt it was his fault, possibly hinting at the fear of having left something on prior to their exit. The emotions of the day undoubtedly cascaded as he faced the reality of what he had lost.
Joss’s childhood home was not just a building; it was a treasure trove of memories. Owned by his late father since 1957, the home was a significant piece of Joss’s history, having been left to him after his mother’s passing. The fire not only obliterated walls that held countless memories but also consumed a 1994 Chevrolet Impala SS and more than 30 years of television memorabilia, including a valued collection from King of the Hill.
