tWitch’s Mom Shares Never-Before-Seen Photo of Her Son & a Heartbreaking Message

Stephen “tWitch” Boss died by suicide on December 12, 2022.

TMZ was first to report the shocking news, confirming that Boss’ body had been found by staff at a motel that was less than a mile from the home he shared with his wife, Allison Holker, and their three young children.

After the news was confirmed, Holker released a statement to People magazine.

“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,” she told the outlet, calling Boss the “backbone” to their family.

Boss’ mom also spoke out about her son’s death, writing a short statement on her Instagram Stories. “Family and friends, thank you for all the love, prayers and encouragement. Please know I see all the messages, texts, posts and the phone calls. I can’t use words right now. Please know I will reach out when I can. Please continue to keep us in prayer,” Connie Boss Alexander wrote, three days after her son’s death.

On December 21, 2022, Alexander shared another post about Boss.
