‘He radiated kindness': Michelle Obama celebrates life of Stephen 'tWitch' Boss in 'heartbroken' tribute

Boss was quite popular as the DJ on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’. The devastating news of the father-of-three’s death was released by his wife, Allison Holker, who reportedly said, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share that my husband Stephen has left us. Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

The ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ alum noted, “To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honour his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children. Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.” 

Ellen DeGeneres also tweeted about Boss as she stated, “I’m heartbroken. tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children - Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia,” getting a lot of tweets from his fans.

A fan said, “I don't understand Ellen! I want his death investigated. He was so full of joy and happiness with such a beautiful family. It's Christmas and his children are probably so angry, sad, and confused. Something just doesn't add up. Rest well Twitch.😪🙏🏽❤️” Another fan shared, “Oh. My. God. This is so sad. @official_tWitch was one of a kind. Always so joyful and he was great when he hosted for you too. I am tearing up here. We all will miss you tWitch. Sending much love to his family and loved ones.”

“This hurt so much, I'm far away in Nigeria, never met the man, but he brought so much joy to the show. Impeccable timing with the 'Ellen sit down' and so much more. To all men out there, we need to talk, it's ok to talk, talking and seeking help doesn't make you a lesser man,” a tweet read.
