The mother of actor Cameron Boyce, who died in 2019 at the age of 20, thanked Adam Sandler for the tribute to her son in “Happy Gilmore 2.”
Cameron Boyce, who suddenly passed away in 2019 at age 20 after suffering a seizure during sleep, was honored by Adam Sandler in a scene from Happy Gilmore 2, which premiered on Netflix this month.
Boyce and Sandler first worked together in “Grown Ups” in 2010, before reprising their roles as father and son, Lenny Feder and Keithie Feder, in the 2013 sequel.
In an Instagram post, Boyce’s mother thanked Sandler for the tribute to her son. In the post, Libby shared an article about the moment Cameron appears in “Happy Gilmore 2” and commented on the close relationship between the two actors.
“They had a bond that I think was about being authentic, funny, and keeping it real. Adam always finds a way to keep Cam’s memory alive, which warms our hearts,” she wrote.
The Cameron Boyce Foundation, created in memory of the actor to support causes close to him, such as epilepsy research, also used social media to post a photo of the tribute to Boyce in the new Netflix production.
It is not the first time Sandler has honored Boyce; midway through the credits of “Hubie Halloween” in 2020, a photo of the late actor appeared with an emotional message.
“In loving memory of Cameron Boyce,” the tribute read. “He left us too soon and was one of the kindest, sweetest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew. You live forever in our hearts and are deeply missed every day,” the text said.
