Heartbreaking final text Stephen tWitch Boss sent to his ‘devastated’ grandad Mon 19 December 2022 14:36 Darcy Rafter
William Harris Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ heartbreaking final text he sent to his “devastated” grandfather is truly moving. As his ‘Da Da’ reveals, there were ‘no signs’ of the awful tragedy that unfolded just days later.
tWitch Boss worked as a DJ on The Ellen Show from 2014 until it concluded in 2022 and was made an executive producer in 2020.
The 40-year-old was tragically found dead in a hotel room at the Oak Tree Motel in LA after leaving home on Monday, December 12, without his car. When he didn’t return home the following day, his wife, Allison, filed a police report. Allison shared the heartbreaking news of his death on December 14, in a devastating statement.
It has since been reported that Boss died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. However, his family has not confirmed an official cause of death.
Following the news, tWitch’s grandfather, Eddy Boss, traveled from Arizona to be with the rest of the family during this tough time. Boss is now encouraging others to look out for warning signs in their loved ones, despite him not seeing any in Stephen.

The DJ messaged his grandfather just days before his death exclaiming: “I love you Dad-Dad.” Whilst Eddy acknowledges this looks like a simple text on the surface, he now knows that “every word has meaning.”
Eddy Boss, 84, told Daily Mail there were “no signs” of mental health issues in the weeks leading up to his tragic death.
Boss explained: “We spoke as recently as Saturday on more than one occasion. He was the same happy-go-lucky person that he’s always been. We had no indication that anything was out of the ordinary.”
Eddy described his grandson as being “generous” and “humble” as he “brought light” into the lives of everyone surrounding him. He also admitted that the whole family is “completely devastated right now.”
Boss reflected: “All I can say is he was a beautiful person that contributed so much to this world and to everyone he met in a positive way. We miss him dearly and we’re hurting tremendously.”
