He was a member of the Kernersville Raiders Football Team and Golden Fists Martial Arts International. He played basketball with the Kernersville YMCA Youth Sports program. He was an avid chess player and was a member of his school's chess club. One of Hasani's goals was to become an engineer; his drive, energy, and enthusiasm surely would have allowed him to be anything he wanted to be. Hasani's smile was the first thing people noticed and will always remember. Making friends came easily to Hasani as his caring and genuine spirit made people gravitate to him. His enthusiasm and ability to enjoy life was contagious, he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
