In an interview with The Doctors, Cameron Boyce's parents, Victor and Libby, opened up about the morning of their son's sudden death due to an epileptic seizure, and all of the ways they have been honoring his memory since.
At the time, a spokesperson representing his family delivered the sad news of his untimely death.
"It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron," they told ABC.
"The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him."
Cameron's family later revealed that the seizure that ended his life was a result of epilepsy — something he had been suffering from for a long time.
All in an effort to raise awareness about epilepsy.
Afterward, Cameron went home to his roommate who later made the call to his family, delivering the heartbreaking news.
“It was like all of a sudden I was in a cloud. I was just … everything just went white.”
“I still didn’t believe it. There was no way this was true. It was just a nightmare.”
Libby, Cameron's mother, said that they look for "ways to honor" and "celebrate" him, and that has been how they're "approaching it.”
Since the loss of their son, Victor and Libby have had several projects on the go honoring their son’s memory.
“I think he would be beyond proud,” Libby told People.
"And I know there are a few times, for example, that he would pull me in, in front of the camera for anything, and I couldn’t speak at all," she added.
“When I’m talking to folks about this on-camera, I’m not nervous, it’s just coming out," she continued.
She and Victor went on to say that they are determined to continue their activism and raise awareness about epilepsy.
“So we want to bring in donations, obviously for research".
Sending our deepest condolences to the Boyce family for their loss.
