“Everyone is going through something that you can’t see,” Love wrote on his IG post. “Be kind. Reach out. Spread LOVE.”
Another athlete giving his condolences was Fox Sports commentator Emmanuel Acho.
“You’ll be missed by brother,” Acho said. “You’ll be missed. Thanks for always laughing and smiling with me.” “Stephen ‘tWitch’ gone way too soon. RIP tWitch.”
ESPN’s Robert Griffin III also spoke on his death.
“Praying for Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ family and love ones today. Gone too soon.”
Boss, who was only 40, was a fan favorite with Ellen fans across the world because of his dance moves. You would see him and his wife Allison Holker often on dance videos with each other showing off their moves.
According to the CDC, middle age adults between the ages of 35-64, make up nearly half of suicides in this country.
If you know someone who may be in need of help, get them in touch with a suicide prevention hotline.
