Please pray for the Boss family as the mourn the loss of their patriarch, Stephen “tWitch” Boss.

His wife Allison Holker Boss told People:

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share 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.

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 honor 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.

Several reports indicate that Boss died by suicide, leaving behind his family.

Boss rose to fame as a contestant on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, later appeared in several movies, and ultimately became the DJ for THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW until the show’s finale earlier this year.

He leaves behind his wife and three children.

Boss previously said that raising his children was his “favorite earthly assignment,” and even recently said he wanted another child: “I love the little babies, I love them. It’s a constant conversation.”

His wife said, “He’s my support system and our anchor for our family, for sure.”

As the Boss family grieves their loss so close to the Christmas season, please pray for them to draw closer to Christ.

Psalm 34:8 tells us that the Lord is close to the broken-hearted.

Though the Boss family wasn’t outspoken about their faith, some Christians have reflected on their relationship with tWitch:
