Patrick Swayze... Dies at 57. One of the shocking news for me today

Oh wow, I never thought Id see this today. I mean like you said he is still a young guy. But I think he did suffer enough. This is kinda weird because I was just watching a rerun of How I Met Your Mother and that episode had a character "wave" to Patrick Swayze in a restaurant. Sure, Patrick Swayze was not there in the episode but still.. Anyway, I did also love the movie of Ghost. I was also able to watch Dirty Dancing. But I knew him more from Ghost and his comedic scenes with Whoopi Goldberg. Though I gotta say that those are the only movies of his that I remember. Im sure I remember one more where he was sporting a khaki outfit and riding a horse, and I think that was on Hallmark channel. Im just not sure though. Well, may he Rest In Peace.

I loved him in Road House I saw one the the Beast eps ( that was his last series ) He was on kimo during the shooting but did not take any pain meds. I couldn't watch the show (not that it was bad but to painfully to watch ) I will probly try watching it again later.

How sad he had been battling prostate cancer ,so we can only hope he is at peace now. He is most famous for Dirty Dancing in his earlier days,but ghost was a excellent movie also. You are right about his nature ,I saw him interviewed not more than a few months ago and he had said things were looking up. Thanks for the info.

My condolences to those he left behind on earth; his family, friends and fans; I believe I will love his roles in Dirty Dancing and Ghost the most because he played guys that got the bad end of the stick, but somehow, somewhere, they do right. I like to feel that fighting this cancer was one of his greatest roles; sadly, though the fight was long and valiant, it took him; May he be remembered for his roles and his fight. RIP.

Yes, I agree 57 years of age is a very young age to die. He did seem like a really nice guy, and he took his illness really well, and behaved with honor. He was actually a really good dancer to. He was in Dirty Dancing which was one of the best movies of its day. He also did another movie called Road House that I just love. But he did many, many movies over the years and even had a small role in Dirty Dancing 2, which was not too bad of a movie for a remake. He had a great carreer and a great marriage. Very, very sad to see someone so young, talented,kind, and handsome die at such a young age.

Yes you are right. Even if we knew that he has cancer, his passing away still shocked me. I liked in in Dirty Dancing and Ghost. Two of the most loved movies that I had watched. I do know that he is a loving husband. The latest I had read was that he had been married with the same woman for more than 30 years and that is an accomplishment.

Dear hotsummer it is very bad news and I am shocked to hear that Patrick Swayze is no more. Yes it is true he had lot of potential to give the industries. We lost a real gem of the century.

It's sad news. 57 is still quite young but the type of cancer he had was quite serious and the mortality rate is high. I particularly like his movie "Ghost" - that one, I'll always remember.

Yes it is very shocking. There is something about this year. Michael Jackson..Farra Fawcet and now Patrick Swayze.. I think dying at 50s is still very early but maybe it's just their time. It's very sad even though I am less than half their age because I was able to follow their careers. I can't imagine how people closer to them and thei die hard fans feel right now.
