Family chef found drowned near Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard estate identified
Tragic Loss: Former Obama Family Chef Found Drowned Near Martha’s Vineyard Estate
A heartbreaking incident unfolded near the former President Barack Obama’s family estate on Martha’s Vineyard. The lifeless body of Tafari Campbell, the beloved personal chef of the Obama family, was discovered after he went missing while paddle boarding in Edgartown Great Pond. This devastating news comes as a shock to all who knew and loved him.
According to reports from Fox News, Massachusetts State Police confirmed that Barack and Michelle Obama were not present at the residence during the time of the tragic incident. Campbell had been a dedicated member of the Obama household, serving as their personal chef during their time at the White House and continuing to work for them even after Barack Obama’s departure from office.
A Heartfelt Statement from the Obamas
“Tafari was a beloved part of our family. When we first met him, he was a talented sous chef at the White House — creative and passionate about food, and its ability to bring people together. In the years that followed, we got to know him as a warm, fun, extraordinarily kind person who made all of our lives a little brighter,”
the Obamas expressed in a joint statement obtained by Fox.
The Obamas further shared their deep sorrow over the loss, stating, “That’s why, when we were getting ready to leave the White House, we asked Tafari to stay with us, and he generously agreed. He’s been part of our lives ever since, and our hearts are broken that he’s gone. Today we join everyone who knew and loved Tafari — especially his wife Sherise and their twin boys, Xavier and Savin — in grieving the loss of a truly wonderful man.”
It is worth noting that Campbell had previously worked as a sous chef during the George W. Bush administration. Out of the four chefs employed at the time, he was the only one asked to stay on after the change in administrations in 2009, as reported by the Daily Mail.
