Cameron Boyce Death Mourned By Adam Sandler, Bob Iger, Young Hollywood

Reactions are pouring in as the world wakes up to the news on the death of actor Cameron Boyce. Many of his fans grew up with him via the Disney Channel, so his death was particularly personal.

Disney Channel, which was the fulcrum for Boyce’s career, issued the following statement:

“From a young age, Cameron Boyce dreamed of sharing his extraordinary artistic talents with the world. As a young man, he was fueled by a strong desire to make a difference in peoples’ lives through his humanitarian work,” said a Disney Channel spokesperson. “He was an incredibly talented performer, a remarkably caring and thoughtful person and, above all else, he was a loving and dedicated son, brother, grandson and friend.

“We offer our deepest condolences to his family, cast mates and colleagues and join his many millions of fans in grieving his untimely passing. He will be dearly missed.”

Said Tom Perrotta, writer/executive producer of Boyce’s upcoming HBO series Mrs. Fletcher:

“Everyone involved with Mrs. Fletcher is shocked and heartbroken by the news of Cameron’s passing. He was only twenty—way too young—but he was an extroardinarily gifted and seasoned actor, and a lovely, soulful human being. I’m sure I speak for the entire cast and crew when I say that he was a wonderful friend and colleague, and will be sorely missed by all of us. We send our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.”

Some of the immediate online reactions:

RIP our dear #CameronBoyce I am in shock. Angel in heaven.

Heartbroken. Lost for words. I had known Cameron Boyce for many years. He was always polite. Always respectful and always a class act. In fact I was going to message him a couple weeks ago to tell him that I wanted to be in each other’s lives more.

I don’t even know where to start… I am at a loss for words. I never thought in a million years I would be writing this. Cam, you were one of a kind. My heart will be forever broken. I am so happy that I got to spend almost everyday with you on set, you gave the best hugs. I wish I would have hugged you tighter when I saw you a couple of months ago. Thank you so much for being the big brother I never had… I am so distraught and I cannot stop crying! I love you so much… fly high 👼🏼 💔😢 Gods best Angel . #CameronBoyce

I did not know Cameron Boyce personally, but it looks like he was someone who exuded wonderful, positive feelings and was a role model to many. Let his legacy live on and inspire millions more to carry themselves in the same way. He will be missed, but will still always be here.
