Cameron Boyce (May 28, 1999 - July 6, 2019) was an American teen actor best known for his roles in the feature films Mirrors, Eagle Eye, Descendants, Grown Ups, and Grown Ups 2, as well as for his starring roles as Luke Ross on the Disney Channel comedy series Jessie and as Conor on the Disney XD series Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything. Even though I don't personally like Descendants, Jessie, nor the Disney Channel, I still feel bad for him.
I never like the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie. It's so sad to see that Cameron Boyce is dead. Very sorry.
Very tragic and unexpected. He had a whole life beyond him. Rip.
