He was 40 years old.

Stephen "tWitch" Boss has died at age 40. According to reports, he died by suicide.

In a statement to PEOPLE, his wife Allison Holker Boss said:

"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."

Boss was a runner-up on Star Search before competing on So You Think You Can Dance in 2008. He ended the season as a runner-up and later returned as an All-Star. He was a judge when the show returned in 2022.

In 2014, Boss joined The Ellen DeGeneres Show as a DJ; he was then promoted to co-executive producer in 2020.
