RIP Patrick Swayze

Patrick SwayzeAccording to TV Guide actor Patrick Swayze died today at just 57-years-old after a 2-year battle with pancreatic cancer. His death was confirmed by his publicist who told the Associated Press that he died today with family at his side.

Swayze had told Barbara Walters in an interview this year he was “going through hell”, but said “I’ve never been one to run from a challenge.”

I have such admiration for the strength and the fight he displayed while battling cancer. He definitely didn’t fun from a challenge, in fact, I’d say he gave it all he had. I’m sorry it wasn’t enough.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this devastating time. May Patrick Swayze rest in peace.

    I’m glad he is no longer suffering. I know of way too many people that have died of that cancer around that age. I just don’t get it.

    I know its awful. I’m terrified. Not that I’m old, I’m barely 30, but my grandma on my fathers side and my grandpa on my mothers side died of lung cancer, my grandpa on my fathers side died of skin cancer and my uncle on my fathers side died before he was 40 of leukemia, just to name a few :(

    Jordasche, I am so glad you stopped by my blog. Patrick Swayze was my fantasy man. I love, love loved him in Roadhouse and Dirty Dancing. I am sad to see anyone have to go through that. He will be missed. Even my twelve year old loves him!
