Stephen “tWitch” Boss‘ friends and family are mourning him on what would’ve been his 41st birthday.
The dancer’s wife Allison Holker took to Instagram on Friday to pay tribute to her late husband by sharing a series of photos snapped of her and their kids, Weslie, 15, Maddox, 7, and Zaia, 3, at tWitch’s grave. Alongside photos of the fam enjoying the sunny day and delivering bouquets of flowers to the sad memorial site, which remembered the TV personality as a “beloved husband, father, brother and son,” she remarked on how his “presence” is still very much with them since he died by suicide in the middle of last December.
