Three months before Presley Gerber died, he appeared happy and healthy while being supported by his famous parents.
In June, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber stood proudly alongside their model son at the We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation launch in Malibu.
They weren't to know that it would be Presley's final public appearance before his tragic death at 27 years old.
In the images, Presley stood between his model mom and businessman dad, and was beaming for the cameras. The telling images show the incredibly close bond he had with his parents who were consistently supportive of him.
He threw his arm around Rande who was attending with his wife to support Presley who was participating on a panel discussing mental health.
Presley spoke of feeling 'free'
Presley spoke about his mental health journey and finally realizing he was "enough."
During the discussion, he touched upon growing up in the public eye and being vulnerable talking about his experiences.
“The most free I felt was when I was finally honest with myself,” he told the audience.
Talking about his 'difficult days'
As a mental health advocate, Presley consistently spoke about his mental health journey in a bid to help others.
At the event he gave tips to navigating difficult days, when he said: "Move your body, regardless of how you're feeling. Get outside. Get some sun. If you don't feel like moving, lay on the grass."
Presley previously said: "Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do."
