Adam Sandler, who worked with Boyce on the movie “”Grown Ups” and Grown Ups 2,” paid tribute on social media.

Cared so much about the world. Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way. All our hearts are broken. Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences.”
