Barack and Michelle Obama are mourning the loss of their chef, Tafari Campbell. The former White House sous chef, who later became the Obama’s personal chef, died on Monday in a paddle boarding accident near their home in Martha’s Vineyard. He was 45. Massachusetts State Police told People, “Mr. Campbell was visiting Martha’s Vineyard at the time of his passing. President and Mrs. Obama were not present at the residence at the time of the accident.” The Obamas also shared a statement. “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. 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,” they wrote.
