@TheRealJordin: Awww RIP Patrick Swayze. He was such a fighter! He doesn't have to be in pain anymore.
@dannygokey: Rest In Peace Patrick Swayze. May you dance in heaven.
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.
Patrick fought the brave fight, with class and dignity like always. RIP Patrick, you leave many fans of yours who will always remember that great smile of yours
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.
I am really sad about the death of Patrick Swayze. I have seen all of his movies. My favorite is Road House. I will miss him deeply. My man! My deepest sympathy to the family.
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.
in this trial of time , MR swayze may you RIP . may your wife and kids remerber you for your love I will never let your movies leave my mind , you are the the stongest man ,to over come the power of death , I feal god his self is walking with you . you brave man thank you for all you have done for this world . MR. GRAY
Patrick Swayze was a true man with honor, respect and love. He showed it in everything that he did everyday so we know he is now painfree and dancing his way to heaven. Rest in Peace and God Bless his family.

I'm a huge fan of Patrick Swayze.I loved him and all of his films.He is a shining star among many great stars.Much loved by those friends,family,and many beloved fellow actors who shared the stage and screen with him.He'll be much missed.There is a heaven for beautiful souls like his.I look forward to seeing him there someday.To his lovely lady love Lisa and his family,you all have much to be proud of in Patrick.A true gentleman and awesome entertainer.My prayers go out to you.God loves him too,and is enjoying his company,talent,and the warm smile he gave to all of us.Heaven is a happy place with his arrival.Lisa,Patrick is once again,the young man you met,loved,and married many years ago.Wherever you go and whatever you do,he'll be right there beside you always and forever.
You certainly couldn't have put it better in words. He was quit the gentelman.And so respected his Love of his love of his life his wife, God bless her. I know she will go on but she has lost her soul mate. RIP Patrick may you rest in peace and may God watch over your wife.Amen
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. R.I.P
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.
