Watch the Emotional Tribute to ‘Descendants 3’ Star Cameron Boyce (Video)

The 20-year-old actor died unexpectedly from causes related to epilepsy in July

Disney Channel memorialized Cameron Boyce with an emotional tribute video at the end of the premiere broadcast of “Descendants 3,” the musical sequel in which the late star played the son of Cruella de Vil.

“Tonight’s premiere of #Descendants3 is dedicated to #CameronBoyce and is a celebration of his talent and the joy he brought to the world. You’ll always be in our hearts, Cameron,” the network said in a post on Twitter shortly after the film concluded.

The video features footage of various interviews with Boyce, who died on July 8 at age 20 due to epilepsy. The clip also showed outtakes and bloopers, candid footage, as well as praise and admiration from his co-stars.

“Everything you are, every smile, every laugh, every dance, every hug, every moment, everyone you touched, you mean everything to us,” reads the message that flashes on screen during the video.

Boyce, who was born on May 28, 1999, was found unresponsive in his L.A. home on July 8.

“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,” a Boyce family spokesperson told ABC News the day after; a coroner later cited epilepsy as the cause of death. “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.”

Boyce starred in Disney’s “Descendants” franchise, in Adam Sandler’s “Grown-Ups” movies, as well as on TV’s “Jessie,” among other series and films.
