In the wake of Presley Gerber’s passing, those closest to him are sharing heartfelt memories of the model, known as the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, the 27-year-old died on Sunday at a rehabilitation facility.

Among the many paying tribute was musician Kid Rock, who described Gerber as a “wonderful and kind young man.” He praised Gerber’s parents for their unwavering support. “Myself and my family are devastated by the passing of Presley Gerber,” Kid Rock shared on social media platform X. “He was such a kind young man, and his parents epitomize loving parents who did all they could for him.”

“This is a tragedy affecting too many families,” Kid Rock added. “I trust God holds Presley in his hands. Rest in peace, dear Presley, with all my love.”

Charlotte D’Alessio, Gerber’s former girlfriend, shared her grief and cherished memories with him in emotional social media posts. “Shared a pure love with you and will always honor your life,” D’Alessio expressed. “You deserved more time and life.” She recalled the meaningful relationship they shared, meeting through his sister Kaia in 2017 and dating for nearly a year.

“Love you, Pres. Always,” she continued. “Up there, down here. We all send our love to you.”

Paris Hilton, another friend, also expressed sorrow over Gerber’s passing, remembering him as a “beautiful soul” with a “kind and genuine” nature. “I cared about you so much and will miss you dearly,” Hilton shared. “You had a gentle heart that everyone felt was special.”

Brooklyn Beckham paid tribute through his Instagram story, expressing his heartbreak. “Presley, you were the kindest, and we will miss you greatly,” Beckham wrote. His wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, shared their devastation, recalling Presley’s “kind heart” and the impact he had on those around him, conveying condolences to his family.

Friends such as Khloé Kardashian and Brody Jenner also expressed sympathy on Gerber’s final Instagram post. “Love you, brother,” Jenner commented, along with heartfelt emojis.

Presley Gerber’s family, while yet to speak publicly, requested privacy during this challenging time, according to a representative. His sister Kaia Gerber had earlier spoken to Vogue about her brother’s openness regarding personal struggles, noting that he taught their family the importance of being human.

Pursuing a modeling career like his mother, Presley signed with IMG Models at 15, debuting at Moschino’s 2016 runway. He appeared in campaigns for major brands, including a joint Calvin Klein effort with his sister. He also worked on projects like a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial alongside his mother.

In recent years, Gerber courageously shared his challenges with mental health and addiction, hoping his story would encourage others facing similar battles.
