My (Duke's) Introduction Hello, my name is Duke,
I'm Cameron's pet in the
descendants film, but I
know him more than you
may think I do. I will be
the one who will guide
you through all his life in
his simple, yet amazing
life through this book.

His Childhood Fun fact:
Cameron's true

passion was
dancing

Cameron Boyce was
born on May 28, 1999,

in Los Angeles, and
ever since he was a
small kid, he wanted to
become an actor.

His Family Fun Fact: His
Grandmother's
name is Jo Ann

Boyce

He had a very supportive family.
I've heard he had a sister named
Maya, and his two parents were

Libby and Victor Boyce. They
used to say that he was the
kindest and sweetest human
anyone could possibly meet, and

stil say it nowadays.

His Acting Career He began acting in 2008,
when he was just 9 years
old. He had already known
that he was destined to be
an actor, not only that, but
he was an incredible dancer.

He participated in the show The Show, 'Jessie'
caled, "Jessie," where he met
Devi Ryan, Skai Jackson, Karan
Brar, Kevin Chamberlin, and
Peyton List, which were now his
family in set. He gained fame
thanks to this particular show. He
portrayed the character, 'Luke

Ross."

He participated in the movie caled, Descendants
"Descendants," where he

interpreted Carlos, son of the vilain
from 101 Dalamtians, Cruela de Vil.
While creating this movie, he met
Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson, and
Booboo Stewart. He became realy
close to them, and they were like

another family he had gained.

He also participated in the Descendants II
Descendants 2 movie, and he was

the same Carlos. He met and
interacted with new members of
the descendants crew, like Brenna
D’Amico and China Anne McClain.

He also interacted more with
Duke, his dog, aka me, and gave
me a pil so I could always speak

the truth.

He was also in the Descendants 3
Cast, being the same Carlos kid,
and got very close with Mitchel

Hope, Sarah Jeffrey, Jedidiah
Goodacre, Zachary Gibson, China
Anne McClain, Thomas Doherty
and Dylan Playfair. He met more
people and his family of friends
became bigger. This was also his
last movie production before he

died.

Descendants III

Achievements He helped with global warming,
recycling, he helped charity, he helped
homeless people. “Boyce was honored
by the Thirst Project for his efforts

to bring awareness to the Global
Water Crisis. He also raised $30,000
to build two wels for clean drinking

water in Swaziland.”

He was a humanitarian
Boyce received the Pioneering
Spirit Award at an annual gala
for the Thirst Project, a non-
profit organization, as shown in
his hoodie in this picture, that
helps deliver clean water to
communities around the world.

He helped charity work, he
helped homeless people. His family

told ABC News, "The world is
now undoubtedly without one of
its brightest lights, but his spirit
wil live on through the kindness
and compassion of al who knew

and loved him."

Why is he my hero? He's my hero because he was
nice, kind, he would always help
those in need, he even created a

foundation to help people
suffering from poluted water.

He was cheerful, courageous,
grateful and humble by not
keeping his money to himself but

helping others with it.

Difficulties

Like every other human, Cameron
Boyce had some difficulties, he
wasn't that perfect person we
expect him to be.

His seizures happened from time to
time, which would make both his

parents worried. This was realy hard
for al of them, especialy Cameron,
since he could never expect when

they'd happen.

In July 6th, 2019, Cameron Boyce
passed away. The cause? A

seizure. I'm gonna miss al those
days when he would carry me
and take me on walks. He died in
North Holywood, California, United
States. But I know that he's an
angel taking care of his friends

and family.
