Campbell had been a dedicated \u200dmember of the Obama household, serving as their personal chef during their \u200btime at the White House and continuing to work for them even after Barack Obama&#8217;s departure from office.<\/p>\n<h3>A Heartfelt Statement from the Obamas<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Tafari was a \u200bbeloved\u2062 part of our family. When we first met\u200b him, he was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/person-found-drowned-near-obamas-marthas-vineyard-estate-identified-as-family-chef\/\" title=\"Family chef found drowned near Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate identified\">talented sous chef<\/a> at the \u200bWhite House \u2014 creative and \u200cpassionate about food, and its ability to bring people together. In\u200b the years that followed, we got to \u2064know him as a warm, fun, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/obamas-chef-found-dead-in-pond-near-residence\/\" title=\"Obama's chef discovered deceased in nearby pond.\">extraordinarily kind \u200cperson<\/a> who\u200d made all of our lives\u2062 a\u200d little brighter,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>the Obamas expressed in a joint statement obtained by Fox.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u2064 Obamas further shared their deep sorrow\u2062 over the loss, stating, &#8220;That\u2019s why, when we \u2064were getting ready to leave the White House, we asked\u200b Tafari to stay with us, \u2064and he generously agreed. He\u2019s\u2063 been part of our \u200clives\u200c ever since, and\u2063 our hearts are broken that\u2064 he\u2019s gone. Today we join everyone\u200c who knew and loved Tafari \u2014 especially his\u200b wife Sherise \u200cand their twin boys, Xavier \u2064and Savin\u2062 \u2014 in grieving\u2063 the loss of a truly wonderful man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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\u200d the time, he was the only one\u200d asked to stay on after the change in administrations in 2009, as reported\u200b by the Daily\u200c Mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A body found drowned near Barack Obama&#8217;s family estate on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard was identified as their personal chef, Tafari Campbell.
