Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who was fondly often called the joyous DJ and executive producer for “Ellen DeGeneres Show” and a dancer who rose to fame on “So You Think You Can Dance,” has died from a reported suicide at age 40. TMZ was the primary to report the news.

“It’s with the heaviest of hearts that I even have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” Boss’ wife, Allison Holker Boss, 34, confirms to PEOPLE. “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else, and leading with love and lightweight was all the things to him. He was the backbone of our family, the very best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

His final Instagram post on Monday showed him and Holker dancing in front of a Christmas tree and celebrating the vacations. 

Boss is survived by his wife, Allison in addition to children Zaia, 3, Maddox, 6, and Weslie, 14.
