How Cameron Boyce’s Mom & Dove Cameron Are Honoring Late Actor For 21st Birthday
Cameron Boyce continues to live on in the memories of those he touched.
The late Disney Channel star was remembered by his family and friends on what would have been his 21st birthday on May 28. Cameron suddenly passed away on July 6, 2019 after suffering a seizure in his sleep due to epilepsy.
Cameron’s mom Libby Boyce shared a tearful message of gratitude on Instagram one day before her son’s birthday. “I’m really blown away by all the amazing comments and how many people loved Cameron,” she said in the video. “Just really wanted to say thank you and it’s so appreciated. And, we really will be doing amazing things, so his death is not in vain.”

The Cameron Boyce Foundation also teamed up with the late actor’s “Descendants” co-star Dove Cameron in honor of the occasion to launch a new campaign for his anti-gun violence initiative Wielding Peace. The actress’ limited-edition collection with the organization features shirts embroidered with Cameron’s tattoo of a gun with flowers coming out of the barrel. Dove also got the same ink earlier this year to pay tribute to her friend.
“Cameron was a light,” she told PEOPLE magazine. “Every year on his birthday he did something to give back and this year The Cameron Boyce Foundation is honoring his legacy by continuing that tradition on what would have been his 21st birthday. I could not be more proud to support this cause for my friend whom I miss every day. I got my tattoo in his honor and as such The Cameron Boyce Foundation has asked to feature the design on these special limited-edition T-shirts.”
