One year after the tragic death of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, Ellen DeGeneres is remembering her late friend in an Instagram video. Boss, who was known for his dancing along with being the DJ and co-host of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot would on December 13th, 2022 in Los Angeles. He was 40 years old and is survived by his wife, Allison Holker, and their two children.
DeGeneres shared memories of Boss in an Instagram video where she captioned the post, “I loved that every single day after the show, we would sing and dance to some song, and then we would make each other laugh somehow. And then we would walk off, arm in arm … and I would say, ‘I love you,’ and he’d say, ‘Love you much.’ And every single day, that’s how we ended the show, arm in arm,” she added. “I miss that.”

DeGeneres recalled filming a specific video at a resort where Boss successfully scaled a sizeble pole and balanced atop it. She said it was “one of the most fun shoots” they ever had, and “one of the last trips” they ever took. “So, his memory lives on,” she added in the Instagram video. “I love him so much. I miss him so much. And it’s a reminder, every single day, that you just don’t know what people are going through, because he was a happy guy, I thought.”
Boss was found dead at the Oak Tree Inn motel in Los Angeles from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. “I was really close to him, and he never shared that with me,” DeGeneres said. “So, that is sad, that he didn’t feel like he could find a way out and share that he was struggling,” she continued. “Because we all would have done anything we could to help him. I miss him every single day, but I have amazing memories of him.”
