It was Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia who revealed details about her brother Presley’s final months and the words he left for everyone. 💔💔 Now, all the details, plus his last photo, have emerged after his death at 27. 🕊️

With the official cause still pending, it would be premature to connect his death to any particular substance, medical condition or previous struggle without confirmation.

For Crawford, Rande and Kaia, the public speculation surrounding such a high-profile loss is secondary to something far simpler and more painful.

They have lost their son and brother.

Presley was Cindy Crawford’s first child.

The little boy she once held against her chest grew into a model, a brother and a young man attempting to find his own path beneath the enormous shadow of one of fashion’s most recognizable names.

And just weeks before his death, his mother told him exactly how she felt about the person he had become.

She was proud of him.

But no matter how old he became, she still saw the little boy she once held in her arms.

Those words were written for Presley’s 27th birthday.

No one could have known how heartbreaking they would sound just over two months later.
