Officials previously confirmed that the shocking loss of life was caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The father of three was found dead at LA’s Oak Tree Inn by motel staff after repeated attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, Us Weekly confirmed.

Boss’ body was laid to rest in early January during a private ceremony at Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Glendale suburb of Los Angeles. A celebration of life was held the following month.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Ellen DeGeneres, Derek Hough, Wayne Brady, Debbie Allen, Robin Antin and Mickey Guyton were among the 500 attendees at the memorial, along with Boss’ wife and former dance partner, Allison Holker Boss. The memorial also served as a fundraiser for Move With Kindness, a non-profit Boss’ family launched to “spread love and mental health.”

After taking second place on the fourth season of “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2008, the Montgomery, Ala. native went on to appear in the 2007 remake of “Hairspray,” the “Step Up” film franchise and the stripper comedy “Magic Mike XXL.”

Boss joined “Ellen” as a DJ in 2014 and was frequently featured on the daytime talk show. He became an executive producer in 2020 and remained with the program until it ended in May.
