The tributes have already started to pour in following the tragic death, reportedly by suicide, of DJ and dancer Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss.

See who’s spoken out so far on the death of this bright light (below). Jodie Sweetin expressed to Entertainment Tonight:

“Our kids went to school together and he and I went to college together. It’s a lot. I just texted her, I don’t expect anything in return, but I just want her to know she’s loved. He’s such a talent and such an amazing, warm, wonderful heart. He will be greatly missed.”

 

Being on @TheEllenShow numerous times throughout the years I got to know Twitch pretty well. Such a nice & sweet guy. Always happy…You never know what’s going on in someone else’s life. Some of the “happiest” people are fighting daily battles behind closed doors. God Bless… pic.twitter.com/I4Kbxuiltx

Man I am so sorry to hear the heartbreaking news about Twitch.
Great guy. Sending his family all the love, light, strength and mana. I’ve lost a lot of friends to the struggle. You never know what’s happening between the ears.
So sorry Boss family. Stay strong. #stephenboss ????️

It’s heartbreaking to hear that someone who brought so much joy to a room, was hurting so much behind closed doors. I’ve known Twitch for over 20 years through the dance community – he always lit everything up. You just never know what someone is really going through.

I spent an afternoon with him filming Ben’s Workshop and I was so impressed with he and Allison’s easy kindness and playfulness with the precious kids we filmed with that day at the social club. He radiated joy and genuine caring. This is so shocking. God bless their family. https://t.co/eogcYLwCxw

WHAT?!?!
Oh, no!
I remember seeing him at the beginning of his season on "So You Think You Can Dance."
I watched him and Allison start a relationship on the show.
I hate the thought that he was in so much pain.
My condolences to all who loved him.https://t.co/LL1KbsNbkK
