Presley Gerber dared to show his vulnerable side. 💔
In March, he uploaded a video talking about his treatment for addiction. And there, among the comments, his mother appeared: ‘You are a warrior! Walked thru the fire to find yourself! So proud!’ — Cindy Crawford wrote to him. His father, Rande Gerber, also added words of encouragement, and his sister Kaia was not far behind. Presley replied with a simple ‘love you mama’ that carries a different weight today.
On July 2, Cindy celebrated him publicly again for his 27th birthday, unaware that he had only months left to live. On September 20, Presley died at a rehabilitation center in Santa Monica, California. Authorities are investigating a possible overdose, while the family asks for privacy as they go through a grief that no message of encouragement could prevent.
