Those who knew Presley Gerber best are sharing a personal glimpse at the man behind the famous family following his death.

"Presley, you were such a beautiful soul. So sweet, sensitive, kind and genuine," she added. "I cared about you so much, and I'm going to miss you more than words can say.

"I'll always cherish the memories we shared - the laughs, the conversations, and just being around you. You had such a gentle heart and there was something so special about you that anyone who was lucky enough to know you could feel."

"I hope you knew how deeply loved you were and how many people cared about you," she wrote. "My heart is with your entire family during this unimaginable time. Rest in peace, my friend. Love you forever. You will be so deeply missed."

"I am so heartbroken," he wrote. "Presley you were the kindest and we are going to miss you so much x we love you."

Friends also flooded the comments of Gerber's final Instagram post.

"love you brother," Brody Jenner commented along with a dove emoji and a broken heart.

"Praying for your family," Khloé Kardashian added.

Social media star Chase Keith commented, "Rest in peace man."

While Gerber's family has yet to publicly pay tribute following his death, a representative for the family told Fox News Digital, "The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time."

Gerber followed his famous mother into modeling as a teenager, signing with IMG Models at 15 and made his runway debut for Moschino in 2016. He quickly established his own fashion résumé, walking major runways and appearing in advertising campaigns.

The model worked on campaigns with Dolce & Gabbana, Celine and Calvin Klein - including a Calvin Klein campaign with his sister.

Gerber also worked with Pepsi, appearing alongside Crawford in a 2018 Super Bowl commercial that played off his mother's famous history with the brand.
