    Just heard a few hours ago that Actor, Dancer-Patrick Swayze had passed away thanks to a form of Cancer. :-( For those who know of him), he was pretty good in movies like: Red Dawn, Road House, Next of Kin and Dirty Dancing.

    Rest in Peace Pat. :mourn:

    I sure hate to see people pass away at such youngish ages. Another Texan gone.

    I really admired his attitude toward his cancer...he was living one day at a time and chasing life. That's a good thing to remember since life is a gift each day.

    RIP Patrick!

    I too enjoyed his movies, Ghost most of all. Roadhouse was an ok flick as well, but somehow I just couldn't quite accept the Dirty Dancing guy kicking butt in a bar. Don't ask me why.

    His battle with cancer was a hero's work, and to take on and demand to continue to work until he couldn't do so was also inspirational. Rest in Peace Patrick, you will be missed by those who never even knew you.

    RIP Patrick , Only movies I ever watched him perform in was Red Dawn and The Outsiders , Both movies I realy like...

    My uncle is suffering from cancer so this hits home a little more..I know what his family went through and I liked that even though his cancer was well developed his still fought and lived his life...

    Same disease that took my father, so I really hate it. Not a real big Swayze fan, but a shame nonetheless.

    I remember the first time I saw him on the TV-which was in a 1981 episode of M*A*S*H-as a dying soldier. Im glad though, that he got to work with some great actors like: Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton for example.

    I too lost my Dad and a Brother-to Cancer. I wish that the lawmakers here would spend more energy and money on finding a cure for Cancer-instead of the infighting now going on.
