One of the few Hollywood guys who had strong family values. So young and so sad.

May God comfort his loving wife and may He grant her strength for the difficult days ahead. RIP, Patrick.

I like what I know of the man. He really comes off as a good person with a hopeful spirit. I hope he lives painfree and has a sense of peace when his time comes. I will pray for him.

Aw man, this is gut-wrenching. Swayze was one of the good guys.

Trying to confirm with Harvey Levin & Melissa Gilbert.

Radio station now backing off story - so I don’t know.

After seeing the pain Farrah Fawcett has gone through the past two years I’m not sure it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Apparently his Rep is telling People magazine - not true.

I guess we will have to wait for further news.http://twitter.com/peoplemag

I debated posting this from a radio station as well as Twitter which can be a fast moving rumor mongering entity.

Someone reported the death of that pro wrestler and his wife in Georgia a few years ago on Wiki before the police even knew. The change was made from the WWE headquarters.

Yup, THEY sure did. Wonder what the “H” is going on?

Prayers for Patrick Swayze.

Check again, it says he died May 17, which was on Sunday.

Probably not true. Hit F5 (refresh) on your keyboard.

Although when you see the site, it may be changed again.

I remember a while back when the puppeteer of Lambchop fame died. My hubby came in and said he had just heard on the radio that Jerry Lewis had died. I was quite upset as I am a fan and went to check news sites and the TV to find out. After informing quite a few people via the internet, I found out it was SHARI Lewis who had died.

From the movie “Point Break”. Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. Those were the masks they used when robbing banks.

Nope! He’s Alive & Well:

Despite rumors spreading rapidly this morning, actor Patrick Swayze has not died. “This is to confirm that Patrick Swayze did not pass away this morning contrary to severely reckless reports stemming from a radio station in Jacksonville, Florida,” his publicist said in a statement. “Swayze is alive, well and is enjoying his life and he continues to respond to treatment.” Swayze, 56, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in January 2008. In July of that year, he began working 12-hour days, while undergoing chemotherapy, on the A&E drama series The Beast. The show debuted in January 2009. The season finale aired last month.
