Stephen “Twitch” Boss, a renowned dancer, actor, and long-time DJ for *The Ellen DeGeneres Show*, took his own life on December 13, 2022, at the age of 40. The news shocked fans worldwide as Twitch was known for his infectious positivity, his love for family, and his successful career.

He had recently celebrated his nine-year anniversary with his wife, Allison Holker, just days before the tragedy, leaving many to wonder what could have led to such a heartbreaking decision.

Twitch’s career skyrocketed after his appearances on *So You Think You Can Dance*, where his dance skills and charming personality won him legions of fans. His relationship with Allison also blossomed during the show, and the couple quickly became known as “family goals” for their strong bond and shared love for dance. After two and a half years of dating, Twitch proposed to Allison in 2013 in a sweet moment captured during a commercial shoot, with her parents present for the occasion.

The couple married in December 2013, and Twitch became the adoptive father of Allison’s daughter, Weslie, from a previous relationship. They went on to have two more children together, Maddox and Zaia. Just weeks before his death, Twitch and Allison appeared on *The Jennifer Hudson Show*, where they talked about their desire to expand their family even further, discussing their love for parenting and the joy their children brought into their lives.

What has made Twitch’s death even more confusing for fans and loved ones is that there were no apparent signs of him struggling. On social media, Twitch frequently shared moments of joy and love, particularly with his family. Days before his death, he posted a heartfelt tribute to Allison on their anniversary, which made the news even more shocking to those who followed his journey.

The details surrounding Twitch’s death revealed that he had checked into the Oak Tree Inn, a motel in Encino, Los Angeles, just a short distance from his home. He booked the room for one night using his own name, and according to the motel staff, showed no signs of distress. His body was found by a maid after he failed to check out the following day. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed his death was a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and there were no signs of foul play.

Allison became concerned when she realized that Twitch had left their home without his car, an unusual action for him. She immediately contacted the police, who later received the tragic call from the motel. Allison issued a statement reflecting on her husband’s legacy, describing him as a man who “lit up every room he stepped into” and someone who “valued family, friends, and community above all else.”

Following Twitch’s death, social media has been flooded with tributes from fans, friends, and celebrities alike. Many pointed out how Twitch’s death highlights the importance of addressing mental health, particularly in men, who are often less likely to seek help when dealing with emotional struggles. His death serves as a tragic reminder that people can suffer in silence, even when they seem to have it all.
