Barack and Michelle Obama have condoled with the family of their personal chef who died while paddleboarding in eight feet of water near their Martha's Vineyard home.
The couple shared a tribute in honour of Tafari Campell on their respective pages on Instagram.
Sharing a photo of himself and the former first lady with tragic Tafari Campbell on Instagram, the former president wrote: 'Tafari Campbell showed us what true character looks like.
'He believed that actions speak louder than words. And he used his immense gifts to bring people together, provide comfort, and spread joy. I'll miss him every day.'
Michelle shared a similar snap of herself posing with Campbell and Obama in the White House and wrote: 'I will miss my friend, Tafari...the emptiness is hard. But I promise to stay strong, keep living, and honor your legacy in every way possible. Rest in peace, my brother.'
Campbell was found dead close to the Obamas' Martha's Vineyard home on July 25.
He had served as their personal chef in the White House and left to continue working for the couple at the end of Obama's second term in 2016.
