His early death was caused by an “ongoing medical condition,” ABC News reported. One of Boyce’s first breakout roles was as Adam Sandler’s son in _Grown Ups_ and _Grown Ups 2,_ in 2010 and 2013, respectively. Boyce rose to fame playing the role of Luke Ross in Disney’s series _Jessie_ from 2011 to 2015, and he revived that role in _Bunk’d_ for two episodes in 2016\. He went on to star alongside Dove Cameron in _Descendants,_ the Kenny Ortega-directed Disney Channel TV musical movie about the children of classic Disney villains. The film franchise had multiple sequels and spun off into an animated series, in which Boyce revived his role, providing the voice for Cruella de Vil’s son, Carlos. Boyce was in the process of filming the pilot for _Mrs._ _Fletcher_, a series starring Kathryn Hahn, [according to his IMDB page](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2624602/). He also starred in a thriller, [_Runt_](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6988296/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F2)_,_ which is currently in post-production. The actor has also been passionate with his charity work, including the Thirst Project, which builds wells for safe drinking water worldwide, even winning an award at the non-profit’s gala last year.
