Who is Tafari Campbell's wife? Sherise Campbell mourns chef husband who died paddleboarding near Obama’s home

EDGARTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS: In a heartbreaking turn of events, the beach near former president Barack Obama's mansion in Martha's Vineyard became the scene of a tragic incident. Tafari Campbell, 45, who was the personal chef for the Obamas, was found dead during a search operation in Edgartown, Massachusetts.

Campbell had previously worked for the Obamas during their time at the White House and continued to serve them afterward. Authorities have clarified that neither Obama nor his wife Michelle were present at home during Campbell's tragic death. "Tafari was a beloved part of our family," the Obamas said, per the Chicago Sun Times. "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. 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."
