Chris Pratt is mourning the loss of a fellow Pawnee resident.
Following the news that his Parks and Recreation costar Jonathan Joss was killed in a shooting June 1, the Guardians of the Galaxy star shared his disbelief and sadness over Jonathan’s sudden passing.
“Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude,” Chris, 45, wrote on his Instagram Story June 2 alongside an article announcing his death. “He played Ken Hotate in Parks and was also in Mag 7. Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones.”
Jonathan had a recurring role on the series as the head of the Native American Wamapoke Tribe Chief Ken Hotate alongside Chris, Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, and Aubrey Plaza.
In addition to Chris’ tribute, Nick Offerman, who starred as Ron Swanson on the series, shared that several members of the Parks and Rec cast were in contact with each other following the news of the King of the Hill actor’s death.
