Presley Gerber Remembered by Friends and Family Following His Tragic Passing

With the news of Presley Gerber’s passing, friends and loved ones are reflecting on the life of the young man behind the famous family name. The son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, the 27-year-old model died on Sunday at a rehabilitation center, as confirmed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

Among those paying tribute is Paris Hilton, who described Gerber as a “beautiful soul” who “will be so deeply missed.” She expressed her sorrow, recalling the kindness and genuineness he brought into the world.

“Presley, you were such a beautiful soul. So sweet, sensitive, kind, and genuine,” Hilton said. “I cared about you so much, and I’m going to miss you more than words can say.” She went on to cherish their shared memories—the laughter, the heartfelt talks, and simply being in each other’s presence. “You had such a gentle heart, and anyone lucky enough to know you could feel how special you were,” she added. Hilton expressed a hope that Gerber understood how deeply loved he was, sending love to his family during this “unimaginable” time.

Brooklyn Beckham also shared heartfelt sentiments in his Instagram stories, stating, “I am so heartbroken… Presley you were the kindest and we are going to miss you so much x we love you.”

While the memory of Gerber lives on in the hearts of friends, his last Instagram post garnered support and sympathies from many. Brody Jenner commented, “love you brother,” accompanied by a dove emoji and a broken heart. Khloé Kardashian added, “Praying for your family.”

Though Gerber’s family hasn’t released a public tribute yet, a representative mentioned they are seeking privacy during this painful time.

In a recent interview with Vogue, his sister Kaia Gerber spoke about him candidly, highlighting their upbringing in a private family. “My parents for most of our lives were very, very private… and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone,’” she shared, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in life.

Gerber began his modeling career at the age of 15, mirroring his mother’s substantial presence in the industry. He made waves on major runways, including his debut at Moschino in 2016, and lent his talents to campaigns for influential brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein, sometimes alongside his sister.

In recent years, he became more vocal about his struggles with mental health and addiction, hoping that his openness might provide support to others grappling with similar challenges.
