“Our Angel. Forever,” wrote Sofia Carson on Instagram with a behind-the-scenes cast photo, which Booboo Stewart also shared on his Instagram Story.

Sarah Jeffery also shared a photo of herself with Boyce in 2014 “on a BC ferry to Victoria to shoot more of Descendants. Life is good. Miss you Cam.”

Boyce — who was also known for his roles in Grown Ups, Jessie and Mrs. Fletcher — died in his sleep on July 6, 2019. His family noted at the time that his death was caused by “an ongoing medical condition,” which was later revealed to be epilepsy.

“It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron,” a family rep said in a statement. “He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him.

“We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother,” they added.

Boyce’s family started the Cameron Boyce Foundation in his honor, aiming to cure epilepsy by funding research, education and awareness campaigns.
