The mother of former DJ “Ellen” Stephen “tWitch” Boss posted another heartbreaking message on Tuesday.
Connie Boss Alexander shared her grief on Instagram for the second time in recent days after her son, who worked on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” for eight years, died last week.
“Oh if I could go to heaven,” her mother wrote in a screenshot of what appeared to be a FaceTime call between the two, according to Page Six.
Boss, a star of “So You Think You Can Dance,” was confirmed dead by wife Allison Holker in a tragic statement to People.
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share that my husband Stephen has left us,” Holker said. “Stephen lit up every room he walked into. He valued family, friends and community above all else, and leading with love and light was everything to him.
Boss’ mother wrote in her earlier statement on Instagram that she appreciates friends and family for their “love, prayers and encouragement” — and that she sees “all the messages, texts, posts and phone calls” — but “can’t use the words.” right now.”
“Stephen Laurel, your mother loves you for eternity and beyond,” she wrote last week.
It seems that the cause of the artist’s death was suicide. He was 40 years old.
He reportedly had several HGTV projects in the works and is survived by his wife and three children.
