Wow. Only just now heard about this. The ghost who taught everyone how to dance dirty and clean out road houses finally lost his battle with cancer. He was 57.
His struggle with cancer wasn't as well publcized (or as heart breaking) as Farrah Fawcett's but IMO, he was a pretty decent actor and, from what I understand, a hell of a nice guy in person too.
He will be missed. :(

I knew he had cancer, but I didn't know he'd passed away. I've always liked the guy. It's sad that we won't be seeing more of him.
Rest in peace, Patrick.

Its as if a million MILFs cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Poor guy, hope his last few weeks were fairly good at least

I know Roadhouse is not a great movie, but I never turn it off. If it's on. I'll watch it.
I also love Red Dawn.
WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!

Wow. Completely forgot about Red Dawn.
CULT CLASSIC!!!!!

He did seem like a nice guy in RL.
R.I.P. Patrick.

Yeah, but Beyoncé has the best cancer ever - of all time!
Ah, absurd and tasteless. I am ashamed of myself. Sorry.
R.I.P. Swayze

He seemed a cool guy. And Road House was one of the best movies ever! Throat Ripping FTW!

R.I.P Swayze
A really talented actor he will be missed.

I refuse to acknowledge this because nobody gave a shit about Jim Carroll.

Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea,
to the sea
to the open arms of the sea
lonely rivers sigh 'wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home wait for me
Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

Noooooo damn! Patrick Swayze...:(

I wonder if he now can kick the guys butt again that he kicked in GHOST. Jef wasn't it?
Maybe a new career as painkiller.
R.I.P Patrick , finally freed from the cancer

Who's Jim Carroll? Seriously, I have no idea who you are talking about.
I think the SyFy channel's tribute to Patrick Swayze that they posted on their website is still the best:
