PLEASANTVILLE - From mastering jumps on his skateboard to popping wheelies on his motorcycle, Brian HoSang had a passion for perfecting risky stunts.
But the thrill-seeking 24-year-old killed in a motorcycle crash on Interstate 684 Sunday afternoon was also a loving, responsible man with a bright future in the family business, his parents and sisters said in their Pleasantville home yesterday.

“He's always hugging whoever he sees, even if it's a stranger,” said Vincent HoSang, adding that his son was about to become manager of the New York division of Caribbean Food Delights, a promotion from his position as manager of JerkQ'Zine, the family’s fast-food restaurant in Mount Vernon.
The Byram Hills High School and Westchester Community College alumnus lost control of his 2005 Honda around 1 p.m. near Exit 8 in North Salem. HoSang, who was wearing a helmet, slammed into a guardrail and crashed in the woods, where he was pronounced dead at the scene, state police said.
Investigators said speed was a factor in the crash, and could not determine whether other conditions contributed to the accident.
His parents, Jamaican immigrants, had worried about their youngest son’s adventurous spirit, but he always assured them he was careful as well as carefree, despite his determination to master dangerous deeds.
“Whatever task he takes on, he makes sure he masters it,” his father said. “This may be what’s caused the demise of him.”
He had bought his motorcycle about a year ago, and had not had any accidents, family members said. In the past, they recalled, he had bounced back from broken bones and minor injuries from skateboarding tricks and other stunts.
"He was a daredevil," said Simone HoSang, 26. "He lived every day like it was his last."
Yet he was also extremely health conscious, his family said, urging his parents to use the organic shampoo and state-of-the-art water filters he bought for their house.
"He was taking care of everybody," said Jeanette HoSang, his mother.
HoSang is survived by his parents Vincent and Jeanette, sisters Simone and Sabrina, and his brother Damian. The family has not yet made funeral arrangements.
