“There are no words to describe how moved we are by the tremendous outpouring of love and support from our family, friends, and the world. Thank you, everyone, for encircling us with your love and respect of Cameron and concern for our family,” they said.

He was the rock of our family and he always had a positive, heartwarming, insightful and caring outlook on everything and everyone,” they continued. “The pain we have endured and are continuing to endure is indescribable, but we are making every effort to move forward and ensure that Cameron’s legacy and all that he stood for is honored.”

Boyce’s fellow former Disney costars were quick to praise the late actor.

“Cameron was one of the first people who reminded me that it was okay to be myself,” Joshua Rush told PEOPLE of Boyce. “Cameron was a really great guy.”

Descendants costar Sofia Carson said on Instagram, “Letting you go is not something I know how to do.”

Earlier this week, new details about Boyce’s death were revealed.

As of Thursday, “preliminary information suggests the death occurred under natural circumstances,” but “the final cause and manner of death will be determined at a later date,” according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner coroner.

“An autopsy was performed and the cause and manner of death were deferred pending additional testing,” the coroner said.
