“I’m heartbroken. tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children – Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia,” the television personality wrote.

Fans condoled the loss of tWitch in the comment section.

“Sending much love. He was such a kind person,” a user wrote.

“I’m heartbroken, I can’t believe this, my prayers go out to his family,” another user wrote.

“Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans,” tWitch’s wife Allison was quoted by People.

“Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you,” she added.
