Andy Lassner’s Heartfelt Homage To Late Friend Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss
As a result of Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ passing on Tuesday, December 13, The Ellen DeGeneres Show producer Andy Lassner has defended the flood of tributes sent to him. He wrote a wonderful message for the late dancer and wrote about him, which reflects who he was.
Lassner posted a beautiful smiling picture of DJ tWitch on his Instagram and captioned it,
“So many people on social media are posting pictures of themselves with Twitch and talking about their close friendships with him. Talking about the texts, they exchanged with him just last week. Talking about the conversation they once had with him.”
The former producer was stressed in the post and defended others’ sentiments and tributes also, which were shared for the late DJ. He continued in the post,
“The thing is – it’s all true. It’s all real.”
“Those who knew him are not trying to make this tragedy about themselves. They are just trying to convey to you who Twitch was.”
Lassner explained beautifully about DJ tWitch and wrote,
“He made everything about you. He made you feel like the most important person in the world. And he did this for everybody. Not just the people he needed or that was “important.” He did it for everybody. It doesn’t sound real. But it is. All of it.”
The former producer continued,
“He was everyone’s friend. He really did care for every single person who worked at the show and everyone in his life. And the thing is, if you met him just once – you felt that feeling. That light. That’s why I think you and I are hurting. Because we all counted on him, he was our flame. Our joy. Our dancer.”
Lassner added,
“There was a heavy burden that none of us realized he was carrying. He must have been so tired. But we didn’t know because he never wanted it to be about him. Ever. So now we can either spend all of our time wondering why and how and never being satisfied with the answers we imagine. Or we can focus on being grateful for the gift he gave us by allowing us to take light from his flame. The thing is that light still burns in us. All of us.”
“Let’s try and share that light with the people we love. It’s really all we can do. And that’s enough. It’s more than enough.”
There were a lot of Hollywood A-listers who liked Lassner’s post, including Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Aniston, and Kris Jenner.
