The fellow "So You Think You Can Dance" judge paid tribute to Boss on Instagram on Dec. 14 by sharing a series of photos and videos with him. "I am heartbroken by the news of the passing of tWitch. Although we had met many times at the 'Ellen Show,' I got to know him better this summer when I joined the judge's table on 'So You Think You Can Dance," she wrote in a caption. "tWitch was always so kind to me and everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes. tWitch was the guy who played and interacted with his fans in the audience during commercial breaks, and he encouraged all the contestants when the cameras weren't rolling. He had such a passion and love for dance and guiding artists and the contestants on the show."
She continued, "tWitch adored his wife, Allison, and their three kids more than anything. He would talk about them all the time with such pride. He had a laugh and smile that lit up the whole room. Rest easy, tWitch; you will leave a big hole in many hearts. My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and to the many people whom he inspired."
