George Clooney rushes to Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford's side after son Presley's death
George Clooney rushed to Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford's side days after their only son, Presley Gerber, died of a "suspected overdose." The "Ocean's Eleven" actor and wife Amal Clooney were spotted arriving Tuesday at Kaia Gerber's home in Los Angeles, Calif.
Clooney, 65, a long-time friend of the family, who also launched multiple businesses with Rande, was reportedly referred to as "Uncle George" by the Gerber kids.

"George is the nicest guy in the world and would do anything to help Rande's family." "Especially after Presley got a DUI (in 2018), George would advise, 'Don't do that, it's not smart.
Be careful.' More recently, George shared loving notes like, 'I am here for you,' that kind of stuff."

The "Good Night, and Good Luck" actor will now reportedly focus on how he can best support his friend's family.
"He feels absolutely awful for Rande and the entire family, and he wants them to know that he is there for them in any way, shape or form," the insider said.
"George has always been the person people turn to when they're going through something, and with something of this magnitude, that isn't going to change."

It's really that simple.
That's what family does." Rande became a prominent figure in the hospitality industry years ago through his Gerber Group, which operated bars, lounges and restaurants in hotels and entertainment venues around the world.
Rande later joined forces with actor George Clooney and real estate developer Mike Meldman to create Casamigos tequila.
The brand began as a private venture among friends before becoming a major spirits company.
Rande’s friendship and business partnership with Clooney also connected the two families.
Cindy and Rande built a home next door to Clooney’s property in Los Cabos, Mexico, with the two residences designed as neighboring villas.
