Stephen "tWitch" Boss' family bid an emotional goodbye to the dancer weeks after his tragic death.
People reported on Wednesday that tWitch was laid to rest in the afternoon in Los Angeles. A news outlet received a tip from unnamed sources, who revealed that the funeral was "small and intimate" with only close family members in attendance.
After tWitch was laid to rest, his family is reportedly planning to hold a larger gathering and celebration of life ceremony soon. Details about the ceremony are yet to be finalized, but sources told the news outlet that it would be held for close friends and people who the late DJ considered his family.
tWitch is survived by several family members, including his wife, Allison Holker and their three children, Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.
"It has been a very difficult time, but Allison has always been a strong person," a source told ET. "She is trying to keep her composure and not break down in front of her kids through this process for their sake."
"She is prioritizing their mental well-being, especially her eldest daughter, since she has an idea of what's going on and the younger children don't fully understand," it added.
