Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze has passed away from pancreatic cancer. The information is confirmed by his rep Annett Wolf.
“Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months.”
No other details were given.

Patrick will be remembered for so many movies and lines. “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” is probably my favorite. What are some of yours?
My thoughts are with his friends and family. Rest in Peace









This just breaks my heart!!!
My favorite of his films was definitely “Ghost.” I hope his family has privacy in their grief. God bless you, Patrick.
RIP Patrick. We will always have your great movies to remember you by – my favorite “Dirty Dancing”.
So very sad…
“DITTO”!!!!!!
I am so so so sad about this.
This is so sad. Rest in Peace, Mr. Swayze, you left us two of the most amazing chick flicks ever: Dirty Dancing and Ghost.
So very sad. My he rest in peace.
This is so sad. I remember being in love with Patrick Swayze when I was a little girl. He’ll always be that charming badass to me. I hope he’s at peace.
Out of all the recent celebrity deaths, this one hit me the hardest.
RIP Patrick. Road House is my fave Swayze movie. So hot.
I loved Patrick in Too Wong Fu! May he rest in peace!
I love you P-Swaze. I’ll never forget the first time I saw you in Ghost when I was just a little young’n – that’s when I fell in love. I am going to go watch that movie right now… RIP.
This is truly sad and heartbreaking even though it was somewhat expected. God Bless that man. I grew up with Dirty Dancing and even though Patrick has done tons of work he’ll always be Johnny Castle to me. Condolences to his wife.

He gave it a good fight. He will be missed.
“He’s gone with the wind…” and it’s not even “Tuesday”! I will love him forever, in all he did!!!
Very sad, but knowing the statistics on pancreatic cancer, I was not hopeful. I just watched Dirty Dancing again over the weekend for the gazillionith time. It made me so sad to think that he would probably not be with “us” much longer. He always seemed like such a class act — he AND his wife. My heart goes out to her amd the rest of his loved ones. Thank you, Mr. Swayze, for so many hours of enjoyment. Oh geez… I just thought about him on SNL with Chris Farley! That was hysterical. He was truly a great.

RIP Patrick!
He fought the good fight like the cowboy that he was; may he rest in peace as he dances his way to God.
I cried my eyes out this morning before I got to work. He will be truly missed. Rest in eternal peace, Patrick.
He fought a long hard battle. RIP Patrick.

I will always remember him from Point Break, love that movie!! RIP Patrick!!!
This is a terrible loss, for his wife-first, then for his extended family and friends, then for Hollywood. He was a great actor and now cancer took his life. Well, life is short and the unexpected does happen!
Noooo! I thought he was going to make it. This year is too much, marred with the death of so many celebs……. R.I.P Patrick. You’ll be missed.. :’( *Goes to listen to “She’s like the Wind”*

I was really hoping he would beat it. Now I wanna go watch Dirty Dancing.
That’s the only line that keeps popping up in my head.. RIP Patrick

And my God I always forget how hansom he was when he was young!
