The So You Think You Can Dance family has endured several tragedies throughout the years. In March 2020, SYTYCD season 3 runner-up Danny Tidwell died in a car crash. He was 35. "My heart is broken. Yesterday I lost a brother. And we all lost a gift," Tidwell's brother, Travis Wall, wrote in an Instagram post at the time. "I'm not ready. But I never think I will be. Because I can't believe this is real. I can't believe you're gone. You were more than my brother. You were my inspiration. I idolized you growing up. Wanted to dance just like you.
