Just a week ago, an unfortunate tragedy struck the Obama household. Their long-time beloved sous chef, Tafari Campbell, had passed away. Per the reports, Campbell lamentably dropped down from a paddleboard on Sunday at Edgartown’s Great Pond, near the Obamas’ summer property.

The loyal chef had worked for the former President for 14 years, was married to Sherise, and had two sons. Thus, while paying their condolences, the Obamas mentioned that he was a beloved part of their family. “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,” the couple said, according to the Guardian.
