😟Awe no. this is a sad reminder that we can never know for sure what someone is going through, he must have been in a lot of pain to make the decision he made assuming the info regarding how he passed is accurate, I think we should keep in mind that smiles and a cheerful disposition isn't always an indication of happiness or peace of mind. my sincerest condolences to his family I can only imagine how hard this is for them, he seems like a wonderfully kind person. RIP 💙✨
As a man you’re taught to keep your mouth shut and provide for your family. As a man you sacrifice your needs to sustain your wife and children’s needs. No one ever thanks you, it’s just expected, because that’s what our culture demand of you. So your hurt, your anxieties, your fears, your dreams, your passions, your doubts, all of these are dismissed by others in your life so they can feed off from you. And you keep sacrificing like this as a man until you die.
I can definitely see how many men view suicide as the only way out. No amount of motorcycling, sex, exercise, sports, alcohol or drugs will fill the hole left there by the time our culture is said and done with you.
I wish I too had some cliche phrase or bs answer such as “I wish I could have told Twitch I knew how he felt.” Because no, no you don’t know what he went through, you don’t know how he felt. None of you do. Dismissal is also trying to apply your experience to another, you’re not relating to them. You’re simply dismissing how they feel because you supposedly have been there too.
Ellen is a demon. Twitch knew too much and they murdered him in a hotel just like any other celebrities they want to get rid of. Rest in power twitch. You're in a better place than this construct we called Earth.
He just either awaken from the matrix or recently diagnosed with cancer
I don't even know this dude and I just got choked up…I am so confused!…He seemed to have everything going for him…Beautiful family…Talent and personality for days…This one was beyond shocking. My prayers go out to his family, but also to EVERYONE who quietly and openly battle depression.
Stephen Laurel Boss was murdered
Laws of God 👨🏾⚖️… Genesis 4:15 am-pm. Suicide is forced by family before strangers feed off of it… also completed by family for those that challenge that it is not forced. Only a Family can revive their broken Angel but they choose not to for self evils. God is Good, Love, Truth. The Devil is Evil, Hate, Lies. Bi-Racial is sin before self racism, True Love is only found within same shade understands same pain no need to try understanding what emotions don't spell out. #dropthecross #getyourveganon #allsoulsmatter
Sad RIP why didn't he see a psychiatrist or psychologist
Don't get it. Beautiful & loving family but still it wasn't enough for him to live!
What a coward's way out, leaving behind his wife and kids.
Jealous of this gent… until I heard of his passing… so sorry for his family x
Something to look out for when concerned that a person may be suicidal is a change in behavior or the presence of entirely new behaviors. This is of sharpest concern if the new or changed behavior is related to a painful event, loss, or change. Most people who take their lives exhibit one or more warning signs, either through what they say or what they do.

Killing themselves
Feeling hopeless
Having no reason to live
Being a burden to others

Ok… see.. I think something happened. I do not believe this man had depression. Thats why everybody and their mama is confused. You can only hide pain for soo long. Noone can hide that level of despair thaaat well. Something came up in his life that was just waaaay too much & i guess he just fell into depair over it. Also, dep. is not the only mental illness that causes tragedies like this. I dont think we as a people understand mental illness enough. We dont.
The last 2 months of 2022 has not been good. First, Jason David Frank aka Tommy the Green/ White Power Ranger now DJ Twitch 😢😭😭😢. Goodbye to two incredible legends.
😮 😢OMG you’ll NEVER know what’s going on with someone on the inside because after watching this video that was the LAST thing I thought they would say on how he died. Because he looked so happy ALL THE TIME. Had a beautiful family and good career and on the outside looking in you think to yourself why on earth would he wanna take his own life??? And ironically the same thing just happened to another celebrity last month the green ranger aka Jason David Frank. 🤦🏾♂️ RIP
It's a bunch of morons in this chat, obviously mental health is a serious situation and none of you idiots that condemn this man were there in his last moments to give him that speech to live for God and then yourself and then your family. You people have to understand that when a person is at that point of taking there life it still is in Gods time that the person will die. So it was written that was how he was gonna die and none of you could've stopped it. But we have to support people that are going through things because it could happen to anyone and we don't know what a persons mental state is at the time of suicide but just know it doesn't reflect a sane mind to take your own life and that's even if he did die by suicide or not.
😢😞🙏
You just know Ellen kept pushing him to the brink by saying THESE FIRE BEATS AREN'T FIRE ENOUGH! MAKE EM MORE FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!!" until the man couldn't take it no more. He left a beautiful family behind
R'i'p it's really a sad end.🙏🙏🙏WE are all fragile
who?
Are you suffering from depression?
I want to share something with you, maybe it will help you or someone you know who is depressed or even suicidal. Strange as it might sound, these thoughts, these feelings you are having are attacks from Satan. Satan attacks our mind, telling us that we are worthless, that no one loves us, that there is no hope… But Satan is a liar! The truth is, God loves you. You are priceless, you are precious, you are loved! God created you to love and for you to love him. He has a purpose for you, a great plan for you, to use you for His glory. It is up to you, will you believe Satan's lies or believe God who loves you. I'm not saying it will be easy but God will help you walk into and through your purpose. God will be there, He is always waiting, just call on Him.
A good father and husband doesn’t leave their family behind.
Some of y'all should just shut up..some of y'all comments are so inconsiderate u..
Omg WHATT???
What if he was murdered and the investigators got it wrong?
People are often never who they appear to be nor who you think they are particularly in Hollywood.
Ellen contributed to his distress.
The only issue with twitch is he was a SELLOUT. He married a BECKY , so he wasn't really a black man or cared about black liberation, rather he was a white supremacist in black face.
Died in a hotel of a gunshot ? NO ONE HEARD? come on now.
Obviously he was none of these things if he off'ed himself. If you have children you have NO RIGHT to end your life. PERIOD.
He worked so near someone so wicked for so long. You’ve all read the reports of how she is when the camera is off.
I met this guy once with my wife at catalina island. I didn’t know who he was and I asked him take a picture of us. Then my wife told me who he was. He was very nice and humble. Took a picture of us and even asked if the picture is ok and if we want to take another one. Many his soul rest in peace 😢
Money is a huge issue for many people today…something was not right here…he had to have some issues that did not shine through his smiles…money or a double life? It was probably an money issue…. So many folks are suffering today based on money issues… The poor know how to navigate being poor…People that are used to large paychecks and suddenly no money or real way to keep a large paycheck coming..are going to have some serious problems today…Was he working? Making money he was use to making? I will bet his money changed drastically in the last couple of years… A wife and several kids can put a lot of strain on a man…black men can have a hard time with this issue!!! I will bet it was stress based on money and finance issues..mortgages…ect.
Why the celebrities always dying in a hotel
People with no God in life will not be happy, satisfied and live a peaceful life. Money and success and fame are nothing.
Social media will put you in debt. I think he was overwhelmed with her debt and wanting more kids but not financially bringing in more money to balance it with.
HE WALKED FROM HIS HOUSE IN CALI TO THE HOTEL, 14 MINS , WITH JUST A BAG AND A GUN INSIDE
I don't buy it!!!
This man couldn't commit suicide. It's impossible, people open your eyes.
I don’t understand who this suits and what lies behind it, but it’s definitely not a suicide, I’m sure he was killed, but people hide everything and talk about what suits them, where this world is headed??!!
I know what's mental problems, it's hard to hide it, this man radiated kindness, positivity and you can't share this with people if you are empty inside.
Why people don't talk about criminal problems anf try to cover it?
We lost this amazing man because of your silence.
America wake up!!!
@sir_twitch_alot
@theellenshow you knew him well, he couldn't

Yeah this don’t add up, but if it’s true I ain’t about to say rip an all that stupid stuff bc I don’t support suicide!! Especially when you got a whole family you’re not just hurting yourself but everyone around you!! those kids will never have their dad again!! I understand life gets hard and you just want an easy way out but this is NEVER the best choice!! & we all know that.. we all know how stupid it is but yet people still do it! It’s selfish, I’m sorry if that offends anyone.. I’ve been there mentally when I was in highschool, but as I got older an realized how many people get taken from us in unfair situations like car wrecks or accidents even murders made me never want to think that way again!! An I haven’t since! I still deal with depression but that only makes me human.. don’t take what you have everyday for granted!! Some people aren’t as lucky… which brings me 10000x more questions like this man’s life has been amazing, he’s got an awesome job! A beautiful family.. no financial struggles, and this happens to happen right after Ellen is over… something does not add up!!
Wow didn’t know he died from suicide 😮😮
It is Heart Breaking
I miss my son everyday, he's kids don't anymore ever again to there Dad

According to the black web Russia has issued a $1 million reward for the leader of Ukraine…… That is damn sure one way to turn your country against you…
More like murder
I guess the money ran out and a job at Walmart wasn't too appealing.
Ellen bullied him like she did everyone on her staff. Cancel her.
He ain't missing anything! No one picks him up! I told you Noone was gonna pick him up!
