Adam Sandler s new movie, Hubie Halloween, features a tribute in the credits to his late co-star in other films, Cameron Boyce.

Boyce, known best for his roles on Jessie and Descendants, died from epilepsy on July 6, 2019, at age 20.

Gone 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, the memorial message reads.

Sandler played Boyces dad in the Grown Ups franchise. He told Yahoo Entertainment that Boyce had been cast in his new movie as a young deli worker who bullies Hubie, but the actor died just days before filming started.

He was getting on a plane to come shoot our movie, Sandler said. That was devastating news for his family and for all of us. He was just a nice kid. When he was in Grown-Ups as a kid, he was just carefree, happy, funny, all the other kids loved him. All the comedians would walk away like, Man, that kid said a funny line earlier. He was just sharp.
