Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died Sunday at a rehab facility in Santa Monica. Paramedics responded to a call reporting cardiac arrest and overdose. He is survived by his sister, model Kaia Gerber, and his family has asked for privacy during this time.
On Tuesday, his ex-girlfriend Lexi Wood, known for Summer House, shared a tribute on Instagram. The two were friends for years before briefly dating in 2022. She described him as kind, open, and loving, and said he was“incredibly resilient.”She wrote that he“fought so hard for his life”and was“brave enough to be open about that fight.”
She added something that’s resonating with people:“More than anything, he wanted to use his story to help other people, and he did.”An insider also said Gerber checked himself into rehab over the weekend knowing he needed help. If that part of his story speaks to you, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available by call or text, 24/7. What do you think is the best way to honor someone’s memory when they wanted their story to help others?
