Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ mother, Connie Boss Alexander, reacted after seeing her late son featured in the 2023 Grammys’ In Memoriam segment. The Recording Academy included the former The Ellen DeGeneres Show executive producer, occasional host, and DJ as a tribute to his career in dancing.

“It will never seem real,” Boss Alexander wrote on Instagram. “I miss you! I love you to infinity and beyond. Keep shining bright for us!”

According to the Recording Academy, the emotional segment serves “as a moment to reflect on and salute the members of the music community we lost.” Boss died on December 13, 2022 at age 40.

After the holidays, his family decided to hold a private funeral. The late tv host, dancer, and actor was laid to rest on Wednesday, January 4, 2023, in Los Angeles during a small and intimate service where only close family are allowed.
