Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber Grieve Son Presley's Death, Plan Intimate Memorial
The supermodel couple are reportedly struggling to organize a private service for their son, Presley Gerber, who died at 27.
Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber are reportedly finding it emotionally difficult to plan a memorial service for their son, Presley Gerber, who died on September 20 at the age of 27. An insider told People that the couple is prioritizing a private ceremony, stating, "It’s hard to make those decisions when everyone is struggling emotionally." They aim to keep the event free from media and paparazzi.
Sources indicate that Crawford, 60, and Gerber, 64, are still finalizing the details of the memorial, which they hope will be very intimate. However, the number of people who have expressed interest in attending is high due to Presley's impact on many lives.
The couple is reportedly considering hosting the gathering in Malibu, California, a location significant to Presley due to his "love for surfing and the beach." His ashes are said to be at his parents' home in Malibu, following his cremation at the Rose Family Funeral Home.
Before his death at a Santa Monica rehabilitation facility from an apparent overdose, Presley was reportedly involved in a challenging battle with addiction. An insider emphasized that Crawford and Rande were actively involved in his life, stating, "They were always there for him and did everything they could to help him. The family has always been incredibly close, and Presley was deeply loved."
Presley's sister, 25-year-old model Kaia Gerber, is also deeply affected by the loss. Sources close to the family describe Kaia and Presley as "insanely close," and she is reportedly taking her older brother's death very hard.
Reports suggest that Presley had entered rehabilitation the same weekend of his death, indicating his awareness of his need for help. He had previously spoken openly on social media about his struggles with depression and opioid addiction, seeking accountability for his journey.
