Iconic actor Patrick Swayze lost his two year battle with pancreatic cancer today, according to the AP:
“Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months,” said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf. No other details were given.
Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer.
When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was “considerably more optimistic” than that.
“I’d say five years is pretty wishful thinking,” Swayze told ABC’s Barbara Walters in early 2009. “Two years seems likely if you’re going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I’d better get a fire under it.”
Because Patrick was such a rare breed of hard-working talent who made characters such as Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing and Bodhi in Point Break staples of a generation – my generation – may he find the ultimate rush on the other side.
You’ll be sorely missed, Patrick. Rest in Peace.
Hey guys, I know thi sis hard to believe but I found a way to hack into Swayze’s E Trade account. He’s got millions of dollars in there!!! I have an offshore account… I need a partner on this if anyone is interested. I totally found a way to filter his cash online late at night in my office building into my account…. anyway I don’t see any way this could go wrong at all… I mean the man dies .. we take his money!
RIP. He fought the good fight.
if I were Demi Moore Id so mess w/ Ashton today…. all get a clay wheel

And yet Charlie Sheen lives on. That just isn’t fair.
He really was a good guy. Even a jerk like me has nothing bad to say about him
Wolverines!
Wolverines!
My God: I don’t think it’s ever happened before in the history of the superfish: 163 comments, and not a nasty one among them. Patrick, you were lovely and will be missed :(
He was indeed a class act. His kind of behavior should put the likes of Kanye West to shame.
RIP
I will always remember his roles in “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost”.

Hey ….! This is a very old photo …
Just as in the movie “GHOST”. “The love inside, Molly; you takae it with you. I am sure he has taken the love of all who fondly remember him with him and he is at peace. He followed the “WHITE LIGHT” and made it home.

The one thread I think should be moderated.
