An event celebrating the light that was Stephen “tWitch” Boss
Allison Holker had arranged the event in Los Angeles for celebrating Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ life and almost 500 people attended. According to People, the 35-year-old said during her speech,
“He chose love, grace and kindness. And he deserves to be celebrated.”
Entertainment Tonight reported that the event was hosted by Joe Smith, their family pastor.
Apart from Holker, another family member to make a speech was Weslie, her 14-year-old daughter. The performers at the event included Mickey Guyton and Andy Grammer.
Apart from Ellen DeGeneres, her talk shows’ entire cast and crew were in attendance as well. The other guests included Wayne Brady, Loni Love and Derek Hough.
Loni Love took to her Instagram account to share a snap from the event. She captioned it, “Goodbye King Twitch.”
Allison Holker had to brave through a lot after tWitch’s death
Boss has left behind his wife, Holker, who used to be on Dancing with the Stars with him. They shared eldest daughter Weslie, son Maddox, 6, and daughter Zaia, 3.
At the time, Holker had shared the heart-rending message,
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”
The former So You Think You Can Dance star’s private funeral took place in January. Since he died untimely without making a will, Holker had filed for half of her spouse’s estate.
Additionally, Boss’ family started a Move With Kindness foundation in honor of the late icon’s legacy after his demise “by spreading love and mental health awareness.”
