Ellen DeGeneres paid tribute to her longtime DJ and friend Stephen Boss aka tWitch following his sudden death. Stephen started DJing on Ellen’s show in 2014, and was with her until the show ended in May 2022. He had become an executive producer on the show in 2020.
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources told that Stephen’s wife Allison Holker ran into an LAPD station Tuesday. And she was frantic because she said Stephen had left home without his car, something that was not like him at all.
A short time later — around 11:15 AM — paramedics got a call for a medical emergency at an L.A. hotel. And they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
“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.” Ellen wrote.
TWitch’s wife mourns him
Twitch and his wife had recently celebrared their nine years anniversary before his demise. Mourning him, his wife said :
“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.”
She continued, “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.” She concluded, “Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”
They had 3 kids. Stephen was 40 years old.
RIP.
