Stephen "tWitch" Boss, the man famous for working as DJ and executive producer on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, has died, according to multiple outlets.
40-year-old Boss died at the age of 40, his wife Allison Holker Boss said in a statement. Read her statement below, per CNN and 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."
Degeneres said in a tweet, "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."
