It has been a month since the tragic passing of 27-year-old model Presley Gerber, and his family is finally opening up about their unimaginable loss.
Over the weekend, supermodel Cindy Crawford, her husband Rande Gerber, and their daughter Kaia Gerber broke their silence, sharing deeply emotional tributes to Presley on Instagram.
Cindy and Rande posted a beautiful black-and-white photo of their late son, softly framed by a pair of wings. In a joint statement, the grieving parents wrote, “We are beyond heartbroken to lose our beloved son and brother.”
They expressed their gratitude for the massive outpouring of love from fans and strangers alike, adding, “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.” They signed off the tear-jerking post with, “Til we meet again our sweet boy.”
The family’s public statements come just days after Cindy and Rande were spotted holding hands during a somber beach outing in Malibu, leaning on each other for support.
Presley’s younger sister, 25-year-old model and actress Kaia Gerber, shared an even more raw and painful testimonial. Posting a sweet childhood video of them dancing together, she addressed her brother affectionately as “prez.”
“I’ve read all the books and I have none of the answers,” Kaia heartbreakingly wrote. “My articulation is no match against this, the magnitude of losing you.”
Losing a child and a sibling is a pain that never truly heals. The Gerber family’s strength in sharing their love for Presley with the world is truly inspiring.
Please continue to keep Cindy, Rande, Kaia, and all of Presley’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Leave your supportive messages for the family in the comments below.
