The former television host — who recently moved to England — shared a photo of a field lined with trees with the caption, “Wherever I am I feel you with me. I love you tWitch.”
tWitch became a permanent fixture on The Ellen DeGeneres Show after landing a gig as a guest DJ in 2014. He was then elevated to co-executive producer in 2020 and served in that row through the show's end in May 2022.
In September, the comedian remembered tWitch on his would-be 42nd birthday.
“Happy birthday tWitch. I miss you every day,” she wrote alongside a photo of the pair holding each other on the set of the talk show.
One year ago, on the first anniversary of his death, the television personality remembered the good times with tWitch in a touching tribute posted on Instagram.
"I thought that I would share a couple of memories that I have," she began. “Well, first of all there are so many memories that I have of tWitch.”
"I love that every single day after the show we would sing and dance to some song. And then we would make each other laugh somehow," she continued. "And then we would walk off arm in arm and walk to my dressing room, which was the first one we got to and I would say, 'I love you,' and he'd say, 'Love you much.' And then he would walk off to his. And every single day, that's how we ended the show, arm in arm. I miss that."

The television personality concluded the video by sharing that tWitch’s “memory lives on” following his death by suicide at age 40 in December 2022.
"I love him so much. I miss him so much," she shared. "And it's a reminder every single day that you just don't know what people are going through, because he was a happy guy, I thought, and I was really close to him. And he never shared that with me."
