Yesterday, news spread on the Internet that Steven ‘tWitch’ Boss, the former DJ of the Ellen DeGeneres show, died at the age of 40,

which was later confirmed and friends started posting about the DJ, reminding of his infinite kindness and notes that the news of her husband’s death was confirmed by the wife.

The star of the So You Think You Can Dance project told E! in an interview in October. ‘No manifestation of kindness is small. You don’t have to be of a certain status to do a good deed. You can start right now.’

‘Steven lit up any room he walked into. For him, family and friends were above all else… He was the backbone of our family,

the best husband and father,’ the musician’s wife noted, adding that it is hard for her to talk about it.

The US talk program hosted by Ellen DeGeneres featured Boss from 2014 till it ended earlier this year.

DeGeneres tweeted on Wednesday that the news had left her ‘heartbroken.’
