"For" is a preposition and is usually followed by the object of the preposition -- which would be a noun or the noun form of a verb. A gerund is a verb form ending in "ing" and is used as a noun. That's why "for" is followed by a verb (actually, a verbal noun) that ends in "ing."

You could say I love him for just who he is.
