"Cameron Boyce's passing marked six years ago, honored by the cast of 'Descendants'."
Cameron Boyce, the beloved Disney star, tragically passed away on July 6, 2019, at the tender age of 20. The cause of death was sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), a condition with which Boyce had been living.
Boyce's passing left a profound impact on his fellow actors and fans alike. Booboo Stewart shared a heartfelt tribute to Boyce on Instagram, while Sofia Carson penned a poignant message, "Our angel. Forever."
Boyce's acting career began as a child, with roles in films such as "Mirrors" and "Grown Ups" and "Grown Ups 2". He was best known for his roles in Disney productions, including the "Descendants" TV movies and the series "Jessie".
Boyce's parents, who were not well-versed in epilepsy before their son's death, have since founded the Cameron Boyce Foundation. The foundation's mission is to end epilepsy through research and education, eradicate the stigma associated with the condition, support those impacted by epilepsy and their families, and promote public awareness and advocacy efforts.
The foundation actively advocates for epilepsy education and encourages community involvement. They emphasize the urgent need to find a cure for epilepsy and work to support those living with it by sharing heartfelt stories, educational content, and organizing events such as epilepsy walks to raise awareness and funds.
On the third anniversary of Boyce's death, Sarah Jeffery, a co-star from "Descendants", took to Instagram to remember her friend. She posted a black and white photo featuring herself, Boyce, Booboo Stewart, and Dove Cameron, accompanied by the caption, "Life is beautiful." Jeffery also expressed her sadness, writing, "I miss you."
The Cameron Boyce Foundation's mission is passionately championed by Boyce's parents and the community around the foundation. Their main message is to take the diagnosis of epilepsy very seriously and provide people with more tools to navigate the condition.
As we remember Cameron Boyce, let us also remember the impact he made in raising awareness about epilepsy and supporting those affected by the condition. His legacy will live on through the Cameron Boyce Foundation and the countless lives it will touch.
The loss of Cameron Boyce, a Disney star, sparked an outpouring of emotion from fellow actors and fans, with Booboo Stewart and Sofia Carson offering tributes. Boyce's acting career was marked by roles in various films and Disney productions, but his passing led to the establishment of the Cameron Boyce Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to ending epilepsy, supporting those living with it, and promoting epilepsy education, all in honor of Boyce's memory.
