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.
