Sofia Carson, who starred alongside Boyce in Disney Channel's Descendants TV movies, wrote a heartfelt tribute calling him "our forever boy." A year ago, she posted the same picture to mourn his death.
"To our angel, It’s been 365 days of missing you. And every day, we miss you a little more," Carson wrote. "Not having you, hurts too much. But somehow, you still manage to light up our whole entire world. Our Cam. Our forever boy. Our sunshine wearing shoes. I miss you. So much. I love you. And I will love you. Forever."

"One year without your light," she said. "something cosmic broke the day you left, something seemingly so impossible, so unjust, so unnatural. the universe cannot repair the gap in her weaving. you were huge. i will love you forever, just like this."
