Shortly after, paramedics received a call from an LA hotel and found Boss dead at the scene from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Holker issued a statement to TMZ remembering her husband which read:

“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.”

She also called Twitch the “backbone” of the family, the “best father and husband” and an “inspiration” for fans:

“He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans. To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory.”
