Cameron Boyce fans have rushed to Jessie co-star Karan Brar's Instagram page to share their condolences after Boyce's death Sunday morning. Boyce, who played Brar's on-screen older brother on Jessie, moved in with Brar and his Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything co-star Sophie Reynolds just weeks before his death.
On May 28, Brar marked what would turn out to be Boyce's final birthday with a touching post about how important the 20-year-old became in his life since they first worked together. The photo showed a smiling Boyce holding up a plate of pancakes with a birthday candle in the middle.
"I love you. You're the greatest brother I could've ever asked for, and I will forever feel lucky to have you in my life," Brar wrote. "Happy birthday. That's all. (Think you can tell Cam's better at sappy posts than I am)."

Boyce, Brar and Reynolds became roommates on May 14, which was just weeks before Boyce's sudden death. That day, Brar and Boyce confirmed they were sharing an apartment.
"Now that we're officially roommates, I am officially Schmidt," Boyce jokingly wrote on his Instagram page, referring to Max Greenfield's character in New Girl.
On Sunday morning, Boyce's family said the actor died "in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated." The family did not reveal further details of his condition.
"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," his family continued. "We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother."
Boyce was best known for his roles on the Disney Channel's Jessie and Disney XD's Gamer's Guide. He also starred in the Descendants franchise as Cruella de Vil's son Carlos. The third film, which was already completed, will air on Aug. 2.
The actor also appeared in Adam Sandler's Grown Up movies and had a role in HBO's upcoming Mrs. Fletcher, a comedy starring Kathryn Hahn.
