On Wednesday, friends and family gathered to pay their respects to Stephen “tWitch” Boss, the late DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show who died by suicide in December and was laid to rest in Los Angeles, California.
According to a source, Boss’ widow, Allison Holker, has been receiving an outpouring of love since her husband’s passing. The couple, who married in 2013, have three children together: Weslie, 14, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3.
“It was an incredibly rough day for Allison and the family. She has been a rock for everyone,” a source said. “It was a beautiful service and extremely intimate.”
Close family gathered Wednesday to give a final farewell to Boss, who passed away recently. A larger celebration of life will be held for Boss and those who loved him in the near future.
“It has been a very difficult time, but Allison has always been a strong person. She is trying to keep her composure and not break down in front of her kids through this process for their sake,” the source said. “She is prioritizing their mental well-being, especially her eldest daughter, since she has an idea of what’s going on and the younger children don’t fully understand.”
“Allison is making sure that all the kids know how much their daddy loves them, that he is still with them and his spirit is still flourishing, that this has nothing to do with them, and that they can do things to help keep his spirit alive,” the source added.
