Never ForgottenThe ‘Descendants’ Cast Remembers Cameron Boyce: Read Their Quotes Honoring the Late Star

Working With Cameron

“He just had such contagious laughter,” Sarah told told J-14 exclusively in April 2022. “There’s just nothing quite like it. So just getting to be in his company for such an extended period of time, I feel like every moment was precious.”

The actress added,  “I feel like any time I was spending time with Cameron, I would be laughing, laughing forever.”

Meeting Cameron

“The first-ever person who, honestly, gave me the biggest hug was Cameron Boyce,” Jadah told J-14 exclusively in March 2022. “I remember walking in and he just gave me the biggest hug and he was like, ‘Welcome to the crew kid.’”

The ‘Realest Boy’

“I always gave so much credit to my Cam, who started when he was seven years old and he was just the realest boy, he never lost that,” Sofia shared on a December 2020 episode of the “Chicks in the Office” podcast. “He was a real, genuine, true human being and that’s rare.”

Doing ‘Descendants’ Without Cameron

In July 2020, Dove talked about a possible Descendants reboot and explained why it would be hard without Cameron.

“Obviously, it would be really, really hard on the cast to do a film without Cameron,” she told the “Chicks In The Office” podcast. “I’m sure there’s a part that would feel very healing and very much like we’re coming home. … It’s very much a personal kind of experience, so I think it would be healing to come back to it like a homecoming, but also I think it would be really hard and I don’t know if we would be up for it.”

Remembering Cameron

“I’ll never forget that day. All of us were just overwhelmed and thinking [how] he was just the happiest, most beautiful soul,” Sofia shared in June 2020 during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “And, that no matter what, his soul will live on forever in his legacy because he’s loved by so many and had the most selfless heart.”

She added, “It was more a feeling that Cam gave when he was around you. I think his sister put it so beautifully — that he was sunshine wearing shoes. That’s exactly who he is.”

Cameron Was ‘Always There’

“He was the person you’d always ask for if you needed to talk to somebody,” Booboo told Good Morning America in August 2019. “He always there and he was that person for everybody.”

Sarah’s Social Media Post

“Putting pen to paper after something like this is difficult to say the least…I don’t really know what to say. My heart is broken. But I do feel that any experience with Cameron is one worth sharing. What I can say is, I will miss him so deeply and my heart is shattered for those who were close to him, for they know how much he loved them and how lucky we all were to experience the rarity that was Cameron. My heart absolutely aches for the Boyce’s and for his closest friends,” Sarah wrote on Instagram in July 2019. “For my Descendants family. For those he impacted from a distance. Cam only ever spoke or acted out of a place of love, and lead by example. Over the time I knew him, both from near and far, I was never not astounded by his endless humanity and his care for those he knew, and those he didn’t. He radiated a palpable light. How cruel life is to take him away. I love you forever TCB, thank you for showing me what it means to live life to its absolute fullest. Your endless joy and love and goodness was completely singular and the world is now lesser off…. This does not seem real. I will miss you so much my dear friend.”

Dove’s Tribute

“Cameron was one of my favorite people alive in the world. Over the last six years, since he was only 14, Cameron talked me down from countless ledges, talked me through eating disorders, helped me out of a dark relationship and through endless breakdowns,” Dove shared in a since-deleted Instagram video from July 2019. “He would whisper the dance moves to me on live television when I didn’t know what I was doing…I couldn’t count on my hands the number of times we ruined something because we couldn’t stop making each other laugh.”

The actress continued, “Everyone keeps talking about how talented he was, and he was undoubtedly the most talented person most of us will ever know. But what was special about Cameron was who he was in the small moments…the moments in between the big ones when he didn’t have to be good or kind, Cameron was always good and kind.”

‘To Our Angel’

“To our angel, there are not enough words. There will never be enough words. I couldn’t bring myself to do this because doing this makes it real. Letting you go is not something I know how to do,” Sofia wrote on Instagram in July 2019. “And I just can’t fathom living in a world without you. I love you, Cam. And I will love you. Forever.”

Mitchell Remembers Cameron

“Your name will live on forever mate,” Mitchell shared via Instagram in July 2019. “You’re gonna change the world.

China’s Video About Cameron

“I’m so sorry and you guys lost something that the rest of us didn’t lose,” the actress shared in an Instagram video from July 2019. “You guys lost blood a son, a brother and I lost my best friend. My closest friend, my longest friend. I’ll never again have a friend like Cameron.”

‘Struggling’ With the Loss

“I am still and will forever be struggling to understand how this is really possible,” Anna wrote in an Instagram tribute from July 2019. “I remember sitting beside you at dinner three years ago, wide eyed and in disbelief I was even in the same room as you. Thank you for your kindness and your light and thank you for being someone I could look up to as an actor and as a person. Cameron, you will forever be in our hearts.”

Remembering the Star

“There’s one more star in heaven … it doesn’t make sense and words are hard to come by during times like these. A few small things I think the world should know. Cam’s inspiring energy and incredible talent allowed for him to accomplished more in his 20 years on Earth than many people do in a lifetime. A performer, mentor, philanthropist, friend, brother, son. This kid always had a smile on his face,” Dylan wrote on Instagram in July 2019. “One of the kindest humans I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and the privilege of working with. He approached life with humor, joy, passion and astonishing talent. He was a mentor, spending hours and hours working with goof balls like me to make sure I knew what I was doing filming the dance and sword fight numbers in D2 and D3, and a friend. He raised thousands for clean water non profits in Africa and always had time for fans. Cameron loved his family and spoke ill of no one. It’s tragic saying goodbye to a friend who had so much ahead of him… Rest easy brother. We love you and we miss you.” 

Brenna Shares Her Love

“All I can say now is that Cameron had so much more to do and so much more to give. He was amazing in so many ways. I will miss him forever,” she wrote on Instagram in July 2019.

Then in a separate post, added, ” I will forever cherish my time with my Descendants family. This movie is dedicated to you Cameron. You are magnetic and electric and this movie captures that so well. You are loved so deeply and by so many. Thank you for creating memories with me that I will never forget.”
