“That’s what I really want to do — help people get out of whether you’re depressed [or] struggling with something that’s having a negative effect on your body,” Gerber shared during an appearance on the Studio 22 Podcast in February 2023. “What I hope I can do is have made the mistakes for some other people, so they don’t have to make the same mistakes that I made.”

In the days following his death, tributes poured in from close friends and loved ones, including former partner Charlotte D’Alessio, who dated Gerber between 2018 and 2020.
