Patrick Swayze

Patrick Swayze. Kind, faithful, rugged and real...


Did you love him as much as I did? I never had a crush on him, I just wish that I could have had him as a big brother.:)

I read somewhere that he acted so he and his wife could have a dancing school. Now that is romance, ladies. Dancing and his wife were his true loves...

He seemed like someone you could trust and a friend that would always be there for you.

I am so sad that he is gone.

At least we can still see him on the screen. North and South, Ghost, The Outsiders, Red Dawn and Dirty Dancing are some of my favorites.

He was a role model in my book. A "real" man with a good heart. He will be missed...

    Yes, he was a great actor, a good person, and a good dancer! Loved him in "Ghost". He will be missed.

    Very sad.
    One of my all time favorite movies - Dirty Dancing - that I can practically recite every line and attempt the moves ;)
    Watching it won't be the same.

    Hi Lori,
    I think one of his favorite movie's of mine was " Red Dawn " I think that was the name of it. I thought I better come by and get to know you a little as we may soon be pen pals!
    I really felt bad about Patrick's passing. He went through so much and was so young. He will be missed.
    Love Di

    He will be very missed! I have the movie Dirty dancing and I remember the first time I watched it! At a friends house because at the time my mother would not let me watch it. I can remember that like it was yesterday! I had the biggest crush on him at the time, but as I got older I respected him as a wonderful actor.. and yes one of the good guys of hollywood for sure! 80/ So sad!

    No WAY!! I think I've been in the kitchen wayyyyy to long, I'm so out of the news loop! I'm so sad to hear about his passing. I still and will always love him the most in Dirty Dancing.

    Reading this was NOT the way to start a day early in the morning...so sad. and yes, I did love him as much as most....he was just a really great actor and yeah, "one of the good guys".
    I loved him in RoadHouse (?) and the one where he was the bank-robbing surfer with Keanu Reeves as the FBI chasing him.
    He could play some great parts...but, Dirty Dancing? oh yeah...one of the best!!

    Yes it's such sad news. I loved the Dirty Dancing film. They were playing songs from it on the radio this morning as a tribute.

    REd Dawn and Dirty DAncing are two of my favorite movies. There's a movie he made with his wife "One Last Dance" that I haven't seen. I put it on my queue last night after reading about his passing.

    Lisa, all that you said is so true! He will be greatly missed. I never had a crush on him either (I think we were the only girls that didn't) but I did love his characters and you are right he did feel like a big brother! I loved him as Orry Main in North and South and in Ghost as Demi Moore's husband. He was wonderful in all the other movies too, but those were my favorites. Rest in peace Patrick Swazye.

    I was in the kitchen sweeping up after supper last night..when my youngest daughter yelled out...Mom..who is Patrick Swayze? My heart just skipped a beat and I felt an immediate lump in my throat. I asked her why and she told me..even though I felt I already knew the bad news. I actually shed a few tears. Everything I've ever read or heard about him was that he was an amazing person, husband..dancer and everyone loved everything he played in!! I know I did...So sad...He will be missed....
    Love, Jerelene

    I totally agree. He will be missed. Loved him in Ghost! Pancreatic cancer is heartbreaking. My aunt suffered from that before she died. It is awful... simply awful. So glad there is no more suffering for him. He fought the good fight.

    I just watched North and South and fell in love with Patrick Swayze. Oddly, I didn't think he was hot in the 80s. I must have been blind. LOL!

    What a loss! It brings to mind the saying that only the good die young.
