There will never be an actor like him, he kept working until the very end and i will never forget you Patrick, Dirty Dancing and Road House made me an instant fan of his, RIP and now you are at peace.
Patrick you will be in our minds forever
I have felt sad at the news of other celebrities passing this summer, but Patrick’s loss has made me cry. He was such a brave, loving person and he fought so hard to the end. My heart goes out to his wife and family who went through this with him.
My deepest sympathy to Lisa, the LOVE OF HIS LIFE. He was a class act and will be sorely missed by his many fans….especially me. God does have his dancing Angel and maybe Patrick and Chris Farley can do the Chippendale routine for Farrah, my Mother and best friend Tammy. May he rest in peace and may God’s gentle hands lift Lisa thru this devastating time…you are not alone, He’ll always be right there. God Bless you Patrick, I first saw you in North and South, what a southern gentleman. Red Dawn, Outsiders, Dirty Dancing, Ghost, you had it all and Thank You for leaving us all these wonderful memories. Farewell Gentle Soul.
I feel like the world suffered a great loss with the death of Patrick Swayze. I believe he was a genuinely stand up person just by seeing his personality. He took care of everyone that was in his heart, and I believe he had a very big heart. You will be miss- ed by so many and remain in their hearts forever. I will never for- get you Patrick – you were just like the person (Francis Houseman) you wished you could be. Every- thing you gave came from your heart. I am so glad that you are no longer suffering, but I am deep-ly saddened by your untimely death.
I fell in love with Patrick when he did North and South and I followed his career ever since!! I will miss you Patrick may God Bless your Spirit!
Whoopy Goldberg: “Patrick was a really good man, a funny man and one to whom I owe much that I can’t ever repay. I believe in ‘Ghost’s message, so he’ll always be near.” RIP Patrick!
