He died after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57. Not only did America fall in love with him in Dirty Dancing. But this multitalented actor was one of the nicest guys working in Hollywood.

He was a wonderful guy who danced into our hearts . . . and stayed there.
What a gracious fellow PATRICK SWAYZE was. Gifted, funny, the REAL deal all around.
Much sadness today. And, I just watched DD again recently … what a performance … matched only by Jerry Orbach’s brilliance. And, what a directing job! Awesome times ten!
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore
Dominick Dunne, Larry Gelbart, Army Archerd, Ellie Greenwich, Guy Babylon, so sad … never felt a sadder time than now!
Worked with him on “Point Break”. Did a week of
surf unit, teaching him how to surf..nicest guy ever!!
What a loss. This is one guy that never mailed it in. I’ve got his four best efforts and will enjoy them for as long as I’m around.
RIP Patrick Swayze… loved you in North and South, Ghost and Dirty Dancing…
I am so sad. Watched most of his earlier stff — like most other women, loved Dirty Dancing & Ghost. Missed some episodes of The Beast, so just bought Season 1. It’s a shame that it will be the ONLY season — or at least the only one with Patrick Swayze in it! So Sad
My Dad died of Pancreatic cancer. It’s a horrible illness. One wonders why the blessed die with such pain. Patric Swyaze will live forever in our hearts.
I will always remember his roles in “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost.” RIP, Patrick Swayze.
Unbelievably stunning performance in GHOST — at the end, going into the light — no doubt he, like his character, is in a better place now…
Swayze was an underrated actor, and a genuinely good guy. And he was married to the same wonderful woman for 33+ years. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Mr. Swayzee, R.I.P.
Basically, an actor in the Dennis Quaid/Kirk Russell/Kevin Bacon group who had two smash hits. Nice solid performing.
i wanna send my regards to patrick swayze’s family and friends. He was a very talanted and gifted actor. May GOD be with you. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU PATRICK SWAYZE. R.I.P Love always Your BIGest Fan!!
Goodbye my friend.
You were one of the kindest, actors and best athletes I have known and worked with.
Rest in Peace,
Pete
“But this multitalented actor was one of the nicest guys working in Hollywood.” Agreed.
