An employee of former President Barack Obama died while paddle boarding near the family’s Martha’s Vineyard residence, state police and the Obamas said Monday.
Massachusetts State Police saidDivers recovered his body in about 8 feet of water around 100 feet from shore just before 10 a.m. Monday, state police said.“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,” they said in a statement Monday. “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.
When the family left the White House, they asked Campbell to stay with them, and he agreed, the Obamas said. “He’s been part of our lives ever since, and our hearts are broken that he’s gone,” they said in the statement. “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.”
