Presley Gerber’s loved ones will always honor his legacy.
Nearly one month after the 27-year-old died inside a rehab facility on Sept. 20, his parents Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber as well as his sister Kaia Gerber shared insight into their grief.
“We are beyond heartbroken to lose our beloved son and brother,” the family wrote in a statement shared to Cindy’s Instagram Oct. 17 alongside a black-and-white photo of Presley wearing angel wings. “We feel so blessed to have had Presley in our lives for 27 years. He is a sweet, beautiful soul who loved and is loved, now and forever.”
But as they grapple with the devastating loss, Presley’s family remain determined to carry on his mission to bring awareness to and improve resources for mental health.
“We are so proud of how he showed up in the world, with kindness and vulnerability,” they added. “We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from so many who know and love our family and even strangers who feel our pain. Til we meet again our sweet boy. We love you forever, Mom, Dad and Kaia.”
