Adam Sandler\u2019s onscreen son in the movie\u00a0<em>Grown Ups<\/em>, passed away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The\u00a0Californian\u00a0actor\u2019s death was a shock to the public and to the industry when it was revealed the 20-year-old had died suddenly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">With notable work in\u00a0<em>Descendants, Jessie, Liv and Maddie\u00a0<\/em>and more, Boyce was set to become a star as he progressed with his work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">But sadly, he passed away before it could become a reality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cThe 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,\u201d Boyce\u2019s family said at the time. \u201cWe are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<div

class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Adam Sandler paid tribute to Cameron Boyce in Happy Gilmore 2 (Netflix)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Having worked with\u00a0Sandler, the pair grew close- and with his latest movie,\u00a0<em>Happy Gilmore 2<\/em>\u00a0being released on\u00a0Netflix, many viewers have noticed a nod to his former on-screen son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">One of the scenes shows Sandler walking towards a check-in booth holding golf clubs and a shot of the person working behind the desk is apparently watching\u00a0TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The TV in question shows Boyce on the screen, wearing a blue shirt and holding a pair of binoculars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Fans think this is Boyce\u2019s character Luke Ross on\u00a0Disney\u2019s\u00a0<em>Jessie<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It\u2019s not the first time Sandler has paid tribute to the actor, with his 2020 movie\u00a0<em>Hubie Halloween<\/em>, which was supposed to star Boyce before he died, shared a tribute which read: \u201cIn loving memory of CAMERON BOYCE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cGone way too soon and one of the kindest, coolest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew. You live on forever in our hearts and are truly missed every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Boyce\u2019s death occurred one year prior, on July 6, 2019, when he died in his sleep due to a seizure from epilepsy complications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The family, who issued their grieving statement, went on to launch the Cameron Boyce Foundation in his memory, which hopes to find a cure for\u00a0epilepsy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Sandler has not been shy of taking about his love for Boyce, even expressing his feelings in an interview that has circulated online.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div class=\"resizable-image_wrapper__LRQlr\"><img decoding=\"async\"
