Tafari Campbell, known as one of the chefs who brewed White House beer while Obama was in office, went to work for the former first couple when they left the White House

WASHINGTON — The body of the former White House sous chef who worked for ex-President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle was recovered Monday in the waters near their Martha’s Vineyard estate, Massachusetts police said.

Tafari Campbell, 45, known as one of the chefs who brewed White House honey ale beer while Obama was in office — using honey from Michelle Obama’s famous South Lawn garden — went to work for the former first couple when they left the White House.

In a statement, the Obamas said of one of the top chefs in the White House kitchen: “Tafari was a beloved part of our family. 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.

Seems the only mystery is who the other paddle boarder was. Obama paddle boards.. don’t know why they wouldn’t say if it was him.

It’s very sad. From the Daily Mail’s coverage, it looked like he couldn’t swim and wasn’t wearing a PFD while paddle-boarding. He drowned in 8 feet of water.

Doesn’t seem like it would be easy to drown with a paddle board.. they are flotation devices after all.

Those poor Obama’s So oppressed in a systemic racist white supremacist nation they have a personal chef at their multi tens of millions beach side mansion. Oh the humanity.

Sorry about the guy drowning though. Too bad. Looks like a young man who had a good future.
