Only two days before the tragic news of his death, Stephen 'tWitch' Boss's wife posted what would be their final dance video on her Instagram.
On December 14, news broke that Boss had died at the age of 40, with his wife Allison Holker paying tribute to her husband of nine years.
TMZ shared that Holker reportedly ran into an LAPD station on December 13 amid concerns for his welfare after seeing that Boss had left home without his car - which was out of character for him.
Afterward, it was reported that authorities were called to a Los Angeles hotel where the TV star was found dead, having taken his own life.
Watch tWitch's last dance with his wife:Boss started DJing on Ellen DeGeneres's talk show in 2014 and was made an executive producer on the show in 2020 - remaining there until the show's cancellation in 2022.
He first found fame in 2008 with his dance skills on So You Think You Can Dance, before appearing in several shows and films, including starring as Jason in Step Up, and later Magic Mike XXL.
Just days before his sudden death, Boss appeared joyful while performing a rehearsed dance to Alicia Keys' song 'December Back 2 June' with his 34-year-old wife.
Holker shared the video on her page and captioned it: "HOLIDAY SUNDAY FUNDAY DANCE !!! With my lover @sir_twitch_alot."
The couple had also celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary just days before his death. The two marked their love for each other with heartfelt posts on Instagram.
"Happy anniversary my love @allisonholker #9 years," Boss wrote in his post while Holker put together a slideshow video from her wedding with him in 2013 and swore to never take their "love for granted".
"It’s our 9th anniversary!! I couldn’t be more grateful to celebrate this perfect magical day!!! Saying YES to @sir_twitch_alot has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life!! I feel so blessed and loved!!" she wrote in her caption.
Ellen DeGeneres, 64, also took to her Instagram page to pay tribute to her long-time friend and cast mate following his death.
Sharing a photo of the two of them embracing on set, she wrote to her followers: "I’m heartbroken. tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children - Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia."
In addition to his wife, Boss is survived by his children; Weslie, 14, Maddox, six, and Zaia, three. Holker confirmed his passing in an emotional statement shared by People.
"It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share that 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 the light was everything to him," she wrote.
"He was the backbone of our family, the best husband, and father, and an inspiration to his fans," she continued. "To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won't be a day that goes by that we won't honor his memory."
Closing her statement, Holker also shared a heartfelt message for her husband, writing: "Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you."
Initial reports suggested that tWitch had taken his own life - which was later officially confirmed by the coroner. In a statement obtained by People, officials confirmed that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at a motel in Los Angeles.
The case is now said to be closed, per the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
