I remember the first time I saw Patrick Swayze on the big screen... I was just out of high school and on a date... We were at the drive in... and the movie was Red Dawn... It was a movie about a young group of kids defending themselves against foreign invaders on American soil.. Patrick played the leader of this gang of young misfit rebels... I thought he was amazing...
A few years later - I met him once again as Johnny the sexy dancer in Dirty Dancing... I very much wanted to be his Baby.... I would have been happy to sit in any corner with him..... His dancing talent was incredible.... His muscles even nicer....
In the movie Ghost - I discovered the art of pottery.... The unchained melody scene will forever be burned into my brain... geez.... Been trying to have my husband reenact the scene for years.....
Today, Mr. Patrick Swayze lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.. He fought a difficult battle and he remained a gentleman throughout his ordeal.... He was surrounded by his family in his passings. Today is a sad day indeed.
God Bless you Patrick - You Will Be Missed.

Well said. He was a gentleman throughout his life, always courteous, never boasting. His passing is bittersweet, I feel relief for him that he is finally at peace, but am so sad that he had to go. He got so much more time than the doctors originally estimated, I hope his family can find a sense of comfort in that, although having lost my child to cancer, I know that probably is not the case. Keeping them in my prayers. Thanks for honoring him with such a sweet post.
Kelly,
I think the best part of this story is that the man married his sweetheart and stay married to her throughout everything in Hollywood. They had the love that endured and he died a dignified gentleman.

I really hoped he would beat the odds. So sad!
He seemed like such a great guy, and I really feel for his wife. They were married almost 40 years? That transcends a success story in the Hollywood world. Shows he knew what was most important in life and kept it that way.
