Adam Sandler continues to honor the memory of his late Grown Ups co-star Cameron Boyce, with a subtle but heartfelt tribute in his latest Netflix film Happy Gilmore 2.

After fans spotted the nod—a quick background clip of Boyce from one of his Disney Channel shows—Cameron’s mother, Libby Boyce, shared an emotional reaction on Instagram.

“Adam always finds a way to keep Cam’s memory alive, which warms our heart,” Libby wrote on July 27. She also reflected on the close bond between Sandler and her son, recalling that the two were in regular contact before Cameron’s unexpected death in 2019 due to a seizure at age 20.

“Cameron was supposed to be in Hubie Halloween, and they were strategizing,” she said. “They had a bond rooted in authenticity, humor, and keeping it real.”

This is not the first time Sandler has honored Boyce. In Hubie Halloween (2020), the credits featured a tribute message: “In loving memory of CAMERON BOYCE... You live on forever in our hearts.”

Libby Boyce continues to share memories of her son with fans, recently posting a photo of him dancing. “He felt dance on a deep level,” she noted, recalling his joy.

Sandler’s ongoing tributes are a testament to Cameron’s lasting impact and the deep friendships he formed in Hollywood.
