Prior to his death, Presley’s sister had been candid about how their family was able to learn from his struggles with addiction and depression.
“My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn’t share anything—and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone,'” Kaia toldVoguein August. “There’s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them.”
And for Presley, he saw his experience as one he could leverage to help others.
“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,” he said on a 2023 episode of theStudio 22podcast. “That’s really what I want to do is help people—help people, whether you’re depressed, you’re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body. I mean, it could be anything, and there’s no judgment.”
Presley added, “I’ve seen a lot of stuff, and I’ve learned a lot of things, and 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.”
