Famed "Ellen Show" DJ and Producer, Stephen "DJ tWitch" Boss, Has Died at 40.

The man responsible for putting a smile on the faces of thousands of Americans has reportedly died. TMZ reports that Stephen "DJ tWitch" Boss has died at the age of 40 by an apparent suicide.

Stephen's wife Allison Holker ran into an LAPD station Tuesday, and she was frantic because she said Stephen had left home without his car -- something that was not like him at all.

We're told, a short time later -- around 11:15 AM -- paramedics got a call for a shooting at an L.A. hotel ... and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Holker tells People, "Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans."

She continues, "Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you."

Stephen met his wife while filming the show "So You Think You Can Dance?" where they both were competitors. They got married in 2013. Allison and Stephen had just celebrated their 9-year anniversary this past Saturday and they have three young children.
