Patrick, you were a true leading man, and a true talent. You brought beauty and grace to the screen. I remember the interview where you said that everyone made fun of you for wanting to learn ballet and become a dancer, but you did it anyway. You followed your dreams.
Michael was the king of pop and you were the king of the dancefloor for this 80's fan of yours. Your golden slippers are waiting... love you.

Very nicely said - thoughts and prayers with Patrick's family. He was a great family man and a great actor. I too admired him for his 'macho' dancing - what a brave move. His bravery during his illness is something we can all learn from.

There's no comparison between Patrick Swayze and MJ... Patrick was a true gentleman, who lived his life with grace and dignity, with respect for others, with love for his family, and all the other accolades people have showered on him, all well deserved. While both were undeniably talented, Patrick was the one I would have loved to have had a few beers with.

Patrick was a great actor. I enjoyed him most when he played in the saga North and South. In my opinion, he played a Southerner really well. His performance was absolutely applauding. He shall be sorely missed. Great actor!

I truly admired Patrick Swayze. He was one of the few Actors that had no Scandals, a happy Marriage, and seemed like a genuine Person.
So Sorry for his Family, espically his Wife.

I met Patrick Swayze at a big horse event in Kentucky, he was so down to earth I couldn't believe it. He ran into us later that day (after taking pictures with us and autograph) and pulled out our pen that we accidently left with him, out of his shirt. He was such a nice person, he was almost honored to have his picture taked with us. May he rest in peace and his wife find comfort in his memory.
