Presley Gerber “loved so deeply, so purely.”
Those are the touching words of Lexi Wood.
The 28-year-old Summer House alum paid tribute to the late fashion model on Tuesday, writing about her time with him and expressing her admiration.
She starts the tender post off by trying to find the right words:
“It’s hard to put into words what it means to lose someone who was such a meaningful part of my life for so many years. Through every chapter and every version of our relationship, friendship was always at the core of it.”
The two had known each for years before they finally gave dating a shot in 2022.
She says of her experience with him:
“Everyone who loved Presley and was loved by him knows he was one of the kindest, most open, loving and courageous people. He loved so deeply, so purely, was incredibly romantic and thoughtful.”
Lexi and Presley loved fiercely — and fast.
Their relationship was more like a shooting star than a comet, though, as it only lasted a short while before the two realized they were better off as friends.

And a friend she still is, describing her admiration for him… for how hard he “fought” for “his life” and more:
“He was also incredibly resilient. He fought so hard for his life and he was brave enough to be open about that fight. More than anything, he wanted to use his story to help other people, and he did.”
That he did. And his legacy will continue doing so, as people all across the world continue to be stunned by the sudden loss of life.
