Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ family to hold private funeral for late dancer
Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ family is holding a private funeral for the late dancer this week, according to a new report.
Sources close to the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” DJ told TMZ that he will be laid to rest Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles in a small and intimate funeral attended only by close family.
There will be a second, larger celebration of life ceremony in the near future, which will be held for close friends and people who Boss considered his extended family, the outlet reported.
Boss died by suicide on Dec. 13. He was 40.
The “So You Think You Can Dance” alum took his life via a gunshot wound to the head inside a motel room close to his family’s home.
A few days after his death, it was reported that Boss left behind a note that alluded to past challenges, but specifics of the message were not released.
The “Magic Mike XXL” actor’s widow, Allison Holker, later said her “heart aches” at the stunning loss of her husband.
“My ONE and ONLY Oh how my heart aches. We miss you so much,” she captioned a photo of her and her late husband on Instagram.
The pair had just celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary days before Boss died. He is also survived by his two children, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3. Boss additionally took on the role of a “second daddy” to Holker’s daughter Weslie, 14, whom she welcomed with a previous partner.
Boss’ mother, Connie Boss Alexander, since has issued multiple heartbreaking statements on her social media, telling her followers that she couldn’t “use words” but wished she could FaceTime her late son in heaven.
