Former “Dancing With the Stars” pro Allison Holker spent some time at the grave of her husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who died by suicide in December 2022.
Holker brought her three kids, Weslie, Maddox and Zaia (the latter two are tWitch’s biological children; he also considered Weslie to be his own), to spend some time remembering tWitch on what would have been his 41st birthday.
“We honor our beautiful, sweet, kind and loving Stephen tWitch Laurel Boss. Forever on our hearts and minds carrying us, guiding us and lifting us. We feel your presence every day and will forever be grateful for the beautiful times we shared together. We feel your arms wrapping around us and holding us up on this day,” Holker captioned an Instagram post on September 29, 2023.
“Happy birthday my love @sir_twitch_alot a day we will always celebrate the gift you were and still are to this world. We love you,” she added.
