The Etobicoke community is in mourning following the sudden and tragic death of Anthony Boschi, the visionary founder of Philosophy Cafe, who was struck by a car while returning home from work.
Anthony was only 28 years old, and his passing has left family, friends, and the local community in profound shock and sorrow. His untimely death serves as a heartbreaking reminder of how fragile life can be and how quickly a bright future can be cut short.
Anthony was a remarkable individual, known for his intellect, kindness, and genuine curiosity about the world. From a young age, he demonstrated a passion for ideas, creativity, and meaningful conversation.
This love for thoughtful dialogue inspired him to establish Philosophy Cafe, a space where people from all walks of life could gather to discuss philosophy, ethics, and the deeper questions of life. Through these gatherings, Anthony encouraged others to reflect, question, and connect, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who participated.
In addition to his work with Philosophy Cafe, Anthony recently achieved a personal milestone that brought him immense pride: the publication of his first book, May Contain Truth.
The book was a culmination of his thoughts, experiences, and the unique voice he had been developing over the years. Friends and colleagues believe that this was only the beginning of Anthony’s journey as a writer and thought leader, and his potential for future contributions was boundless.
Anthony was raised by his devoted single mother, Sevime (Sevina), with whom he shared an extraordinary bond. Their relationship went far beyond that of mother and son—they were best friends, confidants, and each other’s greatest source of love and support. Losing Anthony so suddenly has left Sevime devastated, navigating a grief that is both profound and unimaginable.
In the wake of this tragedy, the community has come together to support Sevime, particularly with the financial burden of funeral and memorial arrangements. Efforts are underway to ensure that Anthony is laid to rest with dignity and respect, while also allowing his mother the space to grieve without additional stress.
Donations, messages of support, and acts of kindness have been pouring in from across Etobicoke and beyond, reflecting the wide-reaching impact of Anthony’s life and work.
Anthony Boschi will be remembered as a bright, thoughtful, and compassionate individual whose curiosity and empathy inspired those around him.
His legacy extends beyond Philosophy Cafe and his published work—it lives on in the conversations he sparked, the friendships he nurtured, and the countless lives he touched.
