The passing of Stephen “tWitch” Boss left a void in the hearts of his family, Ellen DeGeneres, and his dedicated fans. News of his suicide came as a shock to many, as he was known for his infectious energy as the DJ on Ellen’s show. It was in a motel room in Encino, California, where Boss tragically ended his life, leaving a note that provided some insight into the challenges he faced.
While the specifics of those challenges remain undisclosed, it is clear that they weighed heavily on him. Boss chose to escape these difficulties by taking his own life, rather than confronting them head-on. His decision to abandon his Uber ride near his home and switch his phone to airplane mode reflected his desire for privacy and isolation.
Boss’s body was discovered by a motel worker the following morning. The cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Although an autopsy was conducted, the toxicology report is still pending, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding his final moments.
In the wake of Boss’s passing, his mother, Connie Boss Alexander, expressed her gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support throughout his successful career. In an Instagram story shared two days after his death, she thanked everyone for their love, prayers, and encouragement. While she grieves, she promises to reach out when she is able, emphasizing the everlasting love she holds for her son.
Allison Holker Boss, Boss’s wife, also shared her profound loss and disbelief on social media. Allison, who loved him dearly, described Boss as someone who radiated joy in every room he entered. He treasured his family, friends, and community and dedicated himself to leading with love and positivity. His legacy, she believes, will continue to impact those who were touched by his light. In this difficult time, privacy for herself and their three children is of utmost importance.
Stephen “tWitch” Boss may no longer be with us, but his spirit lives on. His energy, passion, and love will resonate in the hearts of those he touched. As we remember and honor him, let us never forget the joy he brought to our lives.
