Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ widow posted a heartbreaking message to honor him on what would have been his 41st birthday.
On Friday, Allison Holker, 35, posted an Instagram photo of herself and their three kids, Weslie, 15, Maddox, 7, and Zaia, 3, gathered around Boss’ grave.
Holker captioned it, “We honor our beautiful, sweet, kind and loving Stephen tWitch Laurel Boss. Forever on our hearts and minds carrying us, guiding us and lifting us. We feel your presence every day and will forever be grateful for the beautiful times we shared together. We feel your arms wrapping around us and holding us up on this day. Happy birthday my love @sir_twitch_alot.”
Boss died by suicide at age 40 in December 2022. He was known as the former “Ellen DeGeneres Show” DJ (from 2014 to 2022) and he placed as a runner-up on “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2008.

“We love you!” Holker wrote. Allison Holker/InstagramHe also hosted various shows, such as the Fox dance competition show “The Real Dirty Dancing,” which celebrated the 1987 Patrick Swayze movie. Speaking to The Post before his death, Boss said, “I started dancing somewhat late. I didn’t grow up dancing in the studio and taking dance lessons like that. So, when I found ‘Dirty Dancing,’ which was well into my college career, seeing the machismo and the masculine energy that Swayze brought, I just found it incredibly inspiring. I feel like I carry a little bit of that around with me; the confidence he used.”

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.”
