Cameron Boyce made a place in the hearts of Disney fans with his character Luke on the show 'Jessie', and later with the film 'The Descendents', as well as it's sequel 'Descendents: Wicked World'.

Other fans wrote that they still couldn't believe that he had passed away, and that the tweets were making him upset. His 'Jessie' co-star Karan Brar requested fans to please donate to the Cameron Boyce foundation. He also wrote an emotional message to fans, "Hey Twitter I need your help passing this message around... Tomorrow would’ve been Cam’s 21st Birthday. In his honor please consider donating to The Cameron Boyce Foundation - we're hoping to raise 50K with your support!"
