Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ life has been celebrated by loved ones following his death.
The late dancer and The Ellen DeGeneres show regular took his life on December 13 at the age of 40.
Boss was then laid to rest in January, with TMZ reporting that the Los Angeles service was ‘a small and intimate funeral attended by close family.’
They add that a ‘larger celebration of life ceremony’ would be held in the near future, where the former So You Think You Can Dance? judge’s friends could pay their respects.
On Saturday (February 11), a service was held in LA, with Boss’ wife Allison Holker, 35, hailing him as a ‘light’ in her speech.
According to People, she also told mourners: ‘He chose love, grace and kindness. And he deserves to be celebrated.’

The couple’s 14-year-old daughter Weslie spoke at the event, which was hosted by family pastor Joe Smith.
Country musician Mickey Guyton performed for guests, as did Andy Grammer.
Around 500 attendees turned out for the service, including Ellen DeGeneres and her talk show’s entire cast and crew.
Wayne Brady, Loni Love and Derek Hough attended as well.
Comedian Loni, 51, posted a picture of the program on Instagram and said: ‘Goodbye King Twitch.’

Along with Weslie and Allison, Boss is survived by the other two children he had with his wife – son Maddox, six, and three-year-old daughter Zaia.
Allison, who married the late star in 2013, said in a statement at the time of his death: ‘It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us.
‘He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.’

DJ Boss is said to have been working on TV projects with Allison at the time of his death.
Allison earlier this month filed for half of her partner’s estate, as he died without a will.
She and other relatives have since launched the Move With Kindness foundation, which aims to honour the late choreographer’s legacy by ‘spreading love and mental health awareness.’
