Cameron Boyce, who passed away over the weekend at the age of 20, dedicated much of his free time to helping others—including raising $30,000 to build two wells for clean drinking water in Swaziland.
The acting world lost a tremendous young talent this weekend when"Descendants" star Cameron Boyce died at the age of 20.His family told ABC News,"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."
Boyce introduced former vice president and current presidential candidate Joe Biden at his Biden Courage Awards in March, and he was presented with the Pioneering Spirit Award, one of the highest honors of the night, at last year's Thirst Gala, sponsored by the Thirst Project. During the introduction video at the gala, his friends and family spoke about how dedicated he was, even asking that birthday gifts be donated to Thirst, continuing his efforts.
"I understood what I should do and why I needed to do it," he said about being inspired by humanitarians before him."I hope that some of you guys feel that way tonight."
