I figured this was coming (he had been all over the media and photographed outside his home frequently, lots of statements about his condition, and lots of interviews...they had all died down in the past month or so, and I thought that was probably a bad sign) but was so sad to see it confirmed. What a talented man. RIP.

Very sad

Awwww. One of my first adult male crushes. I will have to honour his memory with watching Dirty Dancing this weekend.

Rest in heaven

Do you remember his skit with Chris Farley on SNL when they were auditioning for Chippendale? It's my favorite! He left us all with good memories.

Yeah, he maybe wasn't the best actor in the world but I sure loved him. I watch Dirty Dancing every chance I get, and my boys still love the movie "Red Dawn" that he starred in years ago. He seemed like such a good guy in his interviews.

That is a super well put together news story - I guess they've had it ready to go since his diagnosis (/cynical off).

I loved him, Dirty Dancing and Ghost were wonderful, not to mention The Outsiders and Red Dawn!

RIP Patrick Swayze!

R.I.P Patrick swayze ~How sad~Such a super person.
She's like the Wind was a favorite song of mine! The man had the voice of an angel.
Sooo soooo SAD.

I'm sad, he made my heart go pitter patter. I loved him in Dirty Dancing and Roadhouse. Rest in peace Patrick, rest in peace...

Had to add:I just googled up the lyrics And it's soo sooooooo sad~he wrote this about his/for his Wife.
My heart goes out to her.
He was a very charming man.

Patrick Swayze - She's Like the Wind Lyrics


She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

[SOLO]

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

Feel your breath on my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
(She's like the wind)
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
She's like the wind

(Just a fool...)
(She's like the wind)
(She's like the wind)
(Just a fool...)
(She's like the wind)
(Just a fool...)

RIP Patrick Swayze
57 is too young
