Fellow Disney star and friend actress Debb Ryan took to Instagram to share the tribute laid out for Cameron at his funeral service.

"This effervescent soul attracted art, respect, poetry, kindness, community— what a gift to be brought together today in a deeply bittersweet celebration of a life we were so fortunate to intersect with," Debb wrote alongside a video showing photos of Cameron.

"His mum told me 'He is our compass.' and it’s showing, as all directions have pointed to love and light and togetherness. We love you, Cameron. Thank you for what you’ve given us, and continue to give us."
