Holker released a statement on Dec. 14 about Boss' death, calling him "the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans."

"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," she said. "To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won't be a day that goes by that we won't honor his memory."
