I just heard that too. Makes me sad even though it was inevitable.

He seemed like a genuinely nice person too.  

JUST heard it. RIP, I'm in as much shock right now as a I when MJ died.

Sad to hear, though not entirely unexpected.

Here's to better days...

It is sad to think that both of those guys are no longer with us. RIP Swayze.

Road House was awesome.

Thanks Michael, for starting the thread in respect. I'm glad I looked because I almost started a duplicate.

I've been listening to a lot of Nickeldback lately and:

I would like to post these lyrics in dedication to Patrick Swayze and a life well lived:

I believe that all this stuff that enters in our corporeality is just a mist, and that in the end, it's something within the depths and breadths of our lives that lives on.

So let's think of Patrick, our dear friend that most of us never got to really know and imagine that today, might be our last day. Then, we might be able to live it to the fullest extent for which we were created.

If Today Was Your Last Day

My best friend gave me
The best advice
He said each day's a gift
And not a given right
Leave no stone unturned
Leave your fears behind
And try to take
The path less traveled by
That first step you take
Is the longest stride

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
If today was your last day

Against the grain
Should be a way of life
What's worth the prize
Is always worth the fight
Every second counts
'cause there's no second try,
So live like you'll
Never live it twice
Don't take the free ride
In your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
[ Nickelback Lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com ]
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day...
Would you make your mark
By mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late
To shoot for the stars,
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'cause you can't rewind
A moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
'cause the hands of time
Are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late,
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

Love sent to Patrick and family. We know he's here with us still.

I guess it was just a matter of time but I'm still saddened by Patrick's death. He starred in quite a few movies/Tv shows that I, at least at the time, thought was pretty damn good; North & South, Red Dawn, Youngblood, Ghost, Road House.

"Be nice - until it's time not to be nice"

Patrick ruled!

RIP

Its a shame for The Beast.  I really liked that show.

Sad news.

Feel bad for his family.

It seems like I could blink, and "Ghost" would be right before me. During the time that Ghost was popular, I was just living, but I always had this weird compelling thing going on since I was a child-- a strong desire to give. Who knows? Just a big ego I guess.

Now, I hear that Patrick was only a mere 57 when he passed, and I honestly wonder, why I haven't moved on yet. With all my health problems, I should be finito. And it brings me to my father's words:

"When it's you're time to go, it's you're time to go!"

We can't fathom anything in this life really. We try and get smart, but it seems very frivolous and the best thing is to lean on someone else. I think that's the very best gift of all-- our weakness, because then we can connect with our friends.

Crazy sentimentalist, but I send my deepest condolences,

Love and prayers sent,

Sandra

You're like the wind, Sandra.
