Farewell tWitch (& Boss Family Workouts)

The hardest part are the questions of 'what if' and if anything could have been done after the fact.
It's the EXACT same feeling after Robin Williams nearly eight years ago.
Thing is, Robin knew he had a debilitating disease and only had so much time left,
TWitch's thoughts to his actions will always be only with him...

I was heartbroken to learn about the passing of Stephen "tWitch" Boss,
who I got to know over the years through my Let's Move! initiative and visits to
The Ellen Show. Stephen was an incredible force - someone who radiated kindness
and positivity, and made sure that people around him could feel it, too.
We felt his spirit in every dance,
every DJ set, every piece of creativity that he brought to life. My heart goes out to his wife, Allison, and their three children, Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.

And if any of you out there are struggling and need someone to talk to, please know that you are never alone.
There is always someone ready to help.
You can call or text the suicide and crisis hotline by dialing 989. - Michelle Obama
