Connie Boss Alexander took to her social media stories to share that she does not have words to express how she feels at the moment about her son’s sudden passing, but she did thank everyone who reached out to her and said that she is very grateful. Connie mentioned that she has not been in a position to reply to the kind messages and calls she has received, but people should know that she has seen them and that she will reach out once she feels better.
Stephen "tWitch" Boss’ mom asked everyone to keep their family in their prayers, addressing Stephen and saying that his mother loves him to eternity and beyond. She had written a sweet birthday post for her son back in September that she was scrolling through and realized that no amount of pictures is adequate to describe how proud she feels of him, adding that despite all of his professional accomplishments, what strikes her the most is what a beautiful man he had grown to be.
