You probably know Stephen tWitch as the DJ and co-producer from the Ellen DeGeneres Show, a disc. The late tWitch was confirmed dead by suicide yesterday by the Los Angeles Medical examiner.

Since the outbreak of the news, the internet has been thrown into a state of mourning, given how bubbly his personality was. However, years before his death, he had shared an uplifting message with his fans.

“It’s a constant work in progress,” the former Ellen DeGeneres show co-producer shared in an episode of the “Aubrey Marcus Podcast” in 2017.

Reflecting On Life

Boss continued;

“You will make decisions that might seem right at the time, but then they’re not. For me, it just helps to know that it keeps going — it does, no matter what — even if something seems very devastating like there’s some kind of force that’s going to keep going and it’s there for you to naturally access.”

The Pressure Of Fatherhood

While the content of his message hinted that the TV star could have had a couple of challenges at the time, he skimped on the details, instead sharing the impact that fatherhood had on his life.

“I’m 35 years old, I am a father of two, I’m a husband, so it’s just like I have so many lives other than my own that I have to take account for in my choices, my actions, and all of that.”

He added;

“Sometimes, I’m faced to make a choice that is the best possible choice I can make at that given moment. Now, will it be the perfect choice? No. Will it cause me to fall? Maybe, and if so, you’ve got to get back up really, really quick and pick up the lesson of whatever that is and then keep it moving because that’s kind of what life does.”

How He Got Over The Phase

The Choreographer, who shared three kids with his wife, also noted in the podcast that he had made peace with the fact that bouncing back after a fall didn't have to be romantic.

“Your bounce back from a perceived failure or whatever something that didn’t work out for you, your bounce back immediately doesn’t have to be like this Hollywood story,”

The father of three shared how his art helped him get over that phase, and that when he felt good, he would dance.

tWitch Had An Incredible Run

In a hotel room in Los Angeles on December 13, Boss was found dead from what seemed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to TMZ.

Although, without question, Boss had a successful career until his untimely death. He competed in the fourth season of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance in 2008 and placed second. In 2010, he caught DeGeneres' attention when he joined the cast of Dance and collaborated with the talk show host on a performance.

In 2013, Boss was invited to appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show as a guest DJ before becoming a regular the following year. He pumped the studio audience up by leading the show's opening dance routine.

In addition to his role on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Boss also made appearances in the Step Up movie series and Magic Mike XXL.
