Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was in my language arts class at Oak Grove, and I remember him as a good student and a good kid. I can't imagine the pain his family is going through, but I hope they find strength in each other. My deepest condolences.

Anthony and I met in college through one of his roommates. At first we never really talked much, I thought he was just a quiet guy but around his friends he had the loudest laugh in the group.

We got to know each other more around thanksgiving 2020. Unable to go home, I was alone for that holiday but he made it feel not so lonely. Ever since then we spent practically every day together. We did school work, cooked together, watched endless movies and tv shows, he got me to watch ink masters and I got him to watch Glow Up. We would laugh so much together, making fun of the dumbest things. 

He loved music and I enjoyed watching the way songs would take over his body and soul. He actually had a really good voice too, something he never believed to be true. 

I knew he loved his family, especially his grandparents for teaching him how to make pasta. He told me that their love was inspirational, and that in being immigrants it made him proud. It's one of the things we bonded over. 

I was blessed to be in his presence and feel the kindness that came from him so naturally. It seemed as though we were opposites, me extroverted and him introverted, but in that we learned a lot from each other.  He made me appreciate silence, how some things do not need to be said but rather felt. Especially now in a time of grief, this is eerily so true. 

It hurts to talk in the past tense. I hope I can talk to him one day again soon.

To his family, thank you for bringing Anthony into this world and raising him to be a respectful, honorable man. My deepest condolences. 


I unfortunately only got to know Anthony for a short period of time. Even still, he made those memories filled with joy. My sincerest condolences to the family. 

The news of Anthony's loss is heartbreaking. Please know that Lorena and I are thinking of you all and that there is boundless love and prayers for your family from us in Montreal.

Your time with Anthony is an incredible gift and we know you realize that and will always be grateful for the way he served such a high purpose in life, including helping you both grow, learn, and to expand and absorb your capacity to love.

You have so much to be proud of in Anthony's life and you have made us and all who know you proud too, because we can see so much of you both in Anthony's many wonderful achievements and in his character and sense of humor.

Sorrow, mixed with gratitude for the sheer joy of Anthony's life, we are with you always,

Love always,
Lorena and Tony Rossi

Many thoughts and prayers for your family. My deepest sympathy.❤️

Anthony, my brother, you will forever be loved and missed. I can’t thank you enough for some of my best memories and experiences I’ll ever have in life. Ever since we met, we’ve always had each other’s back and been family, I remember when Cody first brought you to hang out and told me we went to the same school, my life became better since you came into it. 
Last year when this whole pandemic happened, Anthony and I decided, why not stay together for a bit and we’ll hang out and play video games and work and just enjoy the quarantine together. That was by far the best time of my entire life and it’s all thanks to Anthony. When I was at my lowest, he brought me back up and never let me fall. 
You are the smartest person I’ve ever known. Rest easy Brother, until next time.

On July 19, 1999, I was blessed with the birth of my beautiful son Anthony. Although, a part of me is gone forever and it hurts beyond words, I know that he is now at peace. It truly warms my heart to see how he touched people’s lives. In his short time here on earth, he created memories that will live in us forever. I carry with me Anthony’s kind and gentle spirit , to help me move on, I hope you all can do the same. Let’s celebrate his life, that is what he would want us to do. Rest In peace my baby, who will forever be 21.

Ant, 

I will miss you dearly. I can’t wait to see your smile again and give you the biggest hug. For now I will feel you in the morning breeze and see you in the night sky. We knew exactly how much we meant to each other. Rest easy now.  

“I care for you still and I will forever, that was my part of the deal”

In this life we are born with family, immediately connected by the sharing of ancestors. There is also those rare occasions where along the journey of life we gain family not through the blood we share but the memories and bonds we create together. 

I was so lucky to have met Anthony in 3rd grade, I remember he would take the bus from his school at the time to Ponce de Leon to allow him to participate in the gifted program. First day we met in gifted I remember we sat next to each other, both of us to shy to speak to one another. Of course Anthony was the one to break the ice simply looking at my New York Giants pencil and asking me if I was a Giants fan, I still remember when I replied yes we both kinda chuckled and spoke about the Giants for a minute and from then on a lifelong brotherhood was born.

Gifted was once a week, it was my highlight of each week because I knew from the moment i met Anthony that he was somebody special and that our bond was going to be bigger than simple classmates. The joy I felt when his school ended up closing and he came full time to Ponce was something I couldn’t put into words, my friend I looked forward to seeing once a week finally would sit in the same class as me everyday and I wouldn’t have to wait to joke and enjoy moments with him. 

We went through countless hours together Elementary, Middle and even though we ended up at different high schools us as brothers never parted ways. 

I’ll always remember the happiness, kindness, and sincerity he carried and the many inside jokes and memories we created. 

To his Mother and Father I do not have the words to say how incredibly thankful I am to have had your son as a brother all these years and how you always allowed us to keep our bond strong and continue to grow together.

To his entire family I send my condolences and love, and in time hope that we all can at least partially heal these deep wounds. 

Anthony I’ll love you forever brother, we will meet again.


Anthony was someone very special to me. From the moment I met him I knew he was going to be important in my life. A friendship and relationship I am ever so grateful to have been able to experience. My first for so many who gave me love for over three years. From sophomore year of high school and working at yogurt mountain to countless late night food runs sophomore year of college we grew and experienced so much together. I’ve never met a person or a family like the Rossi’s. People who opened their home to me and showed me nothing but love I couldn’t thank them enough. Anthony was one of my best friends someone who taught me so much, and a boyfriend who was goofy, kind, and seemed to be a source of calmness on a tough day. I will admit he is the best waffle cone maker, juggler, freestyler, and online poker player I knew. He gave me a major upgrade to my movie and music taste not to mention shared a love for food like no other. My heart is so heavy to have to come to terms with someone who was so important to many gone too soon. I’ve always wished you Anthony the most happiness a world can give, no matter what our relationship was something we both hold in our hearts. My thoughts and love goes to his whole family and anyone who knew him. A smile and laugh that carried warmth for miles. Loved by many, may he Rest In Peace he is missed so dearly. 

To The Rossi Family:

We send our deepest condolences and sympathy in the passing of your precious son and grandson, Anthony. May he Rest In Peace. We will keep your family in our prayers.

First I wanna seen my condolences to his family. I’ve known him for all of what 4 years. We met at So Fresh and we didn’t start out liking each other but he became a friend then into like my little brother. He was smart, eager, savvy, business minded, full of life and the will to just live his to the fullest. This really hurts because he was so young with a full life ahead of him. Anthony I remember we went to the Hard Rock together for the first time. You was really good bro. I will miss you and the lost of you my friend leaves a stain. I love you man

I loved Anthony like a brother and I know others did too because of what an amazing person he was to everyone that got to know him. We met in sixth grade and felt like our friendship was meant to be when we learned our mothers worked together. Back in middle school we would buy each other silly toys for Christmas, have sleepovers, and I would even FaceTime him every morning to act as his alarm before school. My decision to go to Clearwater High was primarily because I knew my best friend would be there with me. We grew up as kids together and became adults together sharing an endless amount of memories and life experiences, even moving in together for the beginning of our college lives. His kindness, generosity, and big heart touched so many people that were lucky enough to know him while he was here. My heart goes out to his family and friends that will never fully recover from this tragedy, and may we all remember him by the joy he brought to our lives. May he Rest In Peace. 

Anthony was one of my first friends at USF and I remember the good times of going to his apartment and hanging out with him every day. He was such a good kid that was very easy to be around and just knew how to make your day better. We would play video games every day and laugh and have fun to get away from the stressful classes we had. Anthony will be missed by many and is loved by me and all of my friends that had such a good time with him in college. My condolences go out to his family during this difficult time. 

Anthony was one of my first friends when I got to USF. I actually met him at Orientation. He was one of the only kids in my group who seemed normal and was down to earth. After that our entire freshman year I was over almost daily hanging out with Anthony and playing Video Games. This is awful. God bless him and his family, he was really a great soul and wonderful person.
