A truly exceptional man to the end. Sad loss for everyone, but especially his family. Rest in peace, Patrick.

An honored and strong willed actor who loved his profession and fans to the end.  A great loss at too young of an age.

A really nice guy, and a terrible loss. My thoughts go out to his family.

He was one of the most down to earth people you could ever meet. He treated everyone the same, with respect, no matter who you were. RIP

He was a fighter and I respect that.  He kept working as long as he could, and I admire that about him.  And, he could REALLY pull of "pretty" -- To Wong Foo was my favorite.

Yes, a very down to earth guy indeed.... humble and didn't let stardom go to his head. The fact that he didn't live the Hollywood lifestyle and remained married to his childhood sweetheart, well that says it all for me, that Patrick Swayze was a true gentleman and a great human being.

RIP Patrick Swayze.
