Campbell was from Dumfries, Virginia, and leaves behind his wife Sherise and twin boys, Xavier and Savin. He was a White House sous chef during Obama’s term and remained with the family when the president left office.
The Obamas said, “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.”
