Sanjeev SETHI Obituary

SANJEEV SETHI Died peacefully at Hill House Hospice in Richmond Hill, Ontario on February 28, 2019 at 9:45 a.m., at the age of 56. He was with his family when he passed on. After a two-day snowstorm, the sun appeared to light his way. Sanjeev was a gifted chef and successful businessman who was known for his boundless energy, his infectious enthusiasm, and his selfless love. He reached his greatest heights as a devoted son, a loving husband, father and brother. He was a loyal friend whose generosity touched everyone he met. Sanjeev moved to Toronto in 1987, a young and ambitious man who learned the restaurant trade under his uncle. In 1995, he started The Host restaurant. Fortune smiled on him, and the business blossomed. Today, The Host and its many offshoots rank as the best Indian restaurants in the country. Sanjeev's heart was big enough to encompass everyone he met. He was a dynamo, and we were all nourished by his energy, whether at the center of the dance floor, driving 240 km/hr on the Autobahn, or climbing Mount Kailash on a pilgrimage. Though we will never fill the void his absence leaves, we will always carry his beautiful spirit with us. Sanjeev will be greatly missed by his parents, Sham Sunder Sethi and Sudershan Sethi, wife Anita, children Ashish and Pooja, brother Jetender (Archana), nephews Krishna and Aaryan, uncle Kashmiri Lal Monga (Nirmala Devi), aunt Kamlesh Kumar (Vijay), and a circle of extended family and friends too many to count. The family would like to thank his doctors at St. Joseph's Hospital and nurses at the Hill House hospice for providing Sanjeev and his family with peace during his last days. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to Hill House Hospice in Richmond Hill. http://hillhousehospice.com/donate/

I just heard the news last night regarding passing of Sanjeev when I was talking to a friend regarding a nice place to eat Indian food in Richmondhill. I was shocked. I am very saddened to hear of his passing. Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember our dearly departed. My most heartfelt condolences.

A good soul, I remember the first time I spoke to him in 1997. Have been visiting the HOST ever since. Good people are wanted everywhere. Peace and strength to his family to bear this irreparable and irreplaceable loss.
The best tribute is to carry on the work he started, and pay back to society in his name.
Peace: Rajiv and Anu, Toronto.

I only heard the news today and am very saddened to hear of his passing. I was first acquainted with Sanjeev when he came to Canada.
I had the pleasure to work with him and his Uncle in a fine Indian cuisine on Bay Street.
Although I spent a few years away in Europe and pursuing my own dreams, my husband and I recently met again with him at the Host in Mississauga.
A Kind, soft Spoken and most generous person I ever met. I never New Sanjeev to use pen and paper when taking orders....even for a party of 30 guests ( back in the early days) I never k ew anyone with such a memory!
Our thoughts and prayers to all his family!

We are sorry for your loss Sethi family.

Mr. Sanjeev will always have a special place in our hearts, he specifically curated with me a special menu for our wedding reception.

He had met with me in the very early morning on a Saturday to create the menu. The night prior he was up late as he delivered a special dinner for the PM. That still did not stop him for being so full of ideas, passion and creation when we sat down to discuss what should be served.

We were very blessed to have him create such an innovative menu for our special day. It truly was because of him.

Thank you, Mr. Sanjeev, you made the Toronto Indian food scene what it is.
