Boss tragically passed away at age 40 last month. As Parade reported, Boss’ family held a small, private funeral service in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Jan. 4, for those closest to him to say goodbye to the former Ellen show star. A celebration of life ceremony is reportedly planned for the near future. Days after the funeral service, Holker—who tied the knot with Boss in 2013—took to Instagram to share an emotional slideshow of the pair’s beautiful life together, including various precious moments with their three children, Weslie, 14, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3. “To my husband, best friend, babe, Chee-chalker, Superman and father of my children I LOVE YOU FOREVER and ALWAYS!” Holker, 34, stated in her heartbreaking caption. “We will forever remember you as the true beacon of light that you were.” The tear-jerking video—set to the tune of Rihanna’s “Lift me Up”—featured a montage of photographs showing Boss and Holker on their wedding day, snaps of them welcoming their children from the hospital, shots of romantic couples photoshoots, and several portraits of the family-of-five making memories together. “In loving memory of Stephen Lauren Boss,” the video ended with a black-and-white photo of Boss. “We will continue to cast your light and love throughout the world,” Holker further vowed in her caption. “Thank you for our incredible memories and our beautiful life shared together.” Holker received an outpouring of support on the post, including a message from Ellen DeGeneres, whom Boss worked closely with on her show for several years. “His light lives on with all of you,” DeGeneres commented. Full House alum Jodie Sweetin also expressed her condolences in the comments, writing, “I love you all so much. Not a day has gone by I’m not thinking of all of you and sending love.” “Blanketing you in love ❤️” Jenna Dewan added. Julianne Hough also commented, “He left his legacy in and with all of you Allison ❤️ Love you.” Her brother, Derek Hough, also chimed in to call Boss “A true Icon . We love you Allison 🙏🏼” “All my love to you and your family. ❤️❤️❤️” commented actress Olivia Munn. “A constant joy and light in all of our lives. Love you Allison” added model Ashley Graham. After news of Boss’ death first broke, a slew of other celebrities took to social media to memorialize Boss. Read some of the touching tributes gathered by Parade here.
