00:00 Allison Hocher and Ellen DeGeneres are remembering the late Stephen Twitch boss on what would
00:04 have been his 41st birthday.
00:07 On Friday, the 35-year-old dancer shared a series of photos of her and Twitch's kids
00:11 at his burial site on Instagram.
00:14 The pair share three children together, 15-year-old daughter Wesley, 7-year-old son Maddox, and
00:19 3-year-old daughter Ziya.
00:21 In one snap, Allison takes a selfie with the kids as they put flowers on his grave, and
00:25 in another photo, Allison smiles with their eldest daughter.
00:29 The dancer also penned a heartfelt caption to her late husband, writing, "We honor
00:33 our beautiful, sweet, kind, and loving Stephen Twitch Lauren Baas.
00:37 Forever on our hearts and minds, carrying us, guiding us, and lifting us.
00:42 We feel your presence every day, and will forever be grateful for the beautiful times
00:45 we share together.
00:47 We feel your arms wrapping around us and holding us up on this day.
00:50 Happy birthday my love.
00:51 Twitch, we will always celebrate the gift you were and still are to this world.
00:55 We love you."
00:58 Allison isn't the only one remembering Twitch on his birthday.
01:01 His former boss Ellen DeGeneres is sending him a sweet tribute too.
01:05 The former daytime talk show host shared a selfie of her and Twitch on a plane, writing,
01:09 "Happy birthday Twitch.
01:10 I love you and I always will."
01:14 Twitch and Ellen worked together for several years on her hit talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres
01:17 Show, which ended in May 2022.
01:20 The dancer was known for his fun personality and positive outlook on life.
01:25 Fans were shocked when he was found deceased in a hotel room in Encino, California on December
01:29 13, 2022.
01:31 The Los Angeles Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled his death a suicide one day later.
01:37 A few weeks after his death, Allison went on camera for the first time to thank fans
01:42 for their love and support in an emotional Instagram video.
01:46 "I just want to say thank you for all the love and support that you guys have sent to
01:53 me and my family at this time.
01:56 It has been very challenging and emotional.
02:00 But you guys have brought so much hope and inspiration to us by sharing stories and memories
02:08 and moments and different ways that Steven impacted your life.
02:12 And it's brought us so much hope and inspiration.
02:15 And he was someone that was just beautiful and he lived his life from love and he made
02:23 you feel a certain way.
02:27 My family and I have always said that we wanted to make sure that our purpose was lived out
02:32 by bringing joy to people, joy to people's homes, you know, from dance or love.
02:40 And that's not going to change for us.
02:42 It's going to feel a little bit different.
02:45 But we know that that's our purpose and we'll still do that to this day.
02:50 And I hope that we can remember the feeling that he gave us and remember that we can still
02:56 move from there.
02:57 We can still move and choose love and we can still choose grace and we can still choose
03:02 kindness and I will always be there for you guys.
03:08 And I appreciate you guys being there for us at this moment.
03:12 It really, it goes a really far way for us.
03:16 So thank you.
03:17 And I hope you guys remember how special you are and how much of an impact you make around
03:26 the world and continue to move from there.
03:29 We love you guys.
