Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ loved ones honored him at a celebration of life on Saturday.
The late dancer’s wife, Allison Holker, called him a “light” in a moving speech at the Los Angeles service.
“He chose love, grace and kindness,” the former “Dancing With the Stars” pro said (per People). “And he deserves to be celebrated.”
Holker’s 14-year-old daughter, Weslie, also spoke at the event, which Entertainment Tonight reports was hosted by family pastor Joe Smith.
Mickey Guyton and Andy Grammer performed for guests.
The approximate 500 attendees reportedly included Ellen DeGeneres and her talk show’s entire cast and crew, as well as Wayne Brady, Loni Love and Derek Hough.
Love, 51, posted a picture of the program via Instagram, writing, “Goodbye King Twitch.”
The “So You Think You Can Dance” alum died by suicide on Dec. 13 at age 40.
Boss is survived by Holker and Weslie, as well as son Maddox, 6, and daughter Zaia, 3.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” Holker, who married Boss in December 2013, wrote in a statement at the time. “He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”
Boss was laid to rest at a private funeral in January. Earlier this month, Holker filed for half of her partner’s estate as he died without a will.
Since Boss’ death, Holker and her family members have launched Move With Kindness, a foundation aiming to honor the late choreographer’s legacy “by spreading love and mental health awareness.”
