Actor and dancer Patrick Swayze has lost his 20 month long battle with pancreatic cancer. (http://www.abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/patrick-swayze-dies-pancreatic-cancer/story)
Patrick Swayze who was best known for his roles in such films as, "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost," and "Roadhouse," was 57 years old at the time of his passing. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Lisa.
Patrick Swayze was always known to be the kind of actor that took his work very seriously as he always insisted on doing his own stunts. Jennifer Gray, his costar in the movie "Dirty Dancing" and "Red Dawn" recalled many of the takes in the cold lake of the lift scene in "Dirty Dancing."
Mr. Swayze lived llife to the fullest. To me I believe Mr. Swayze showed tremendous courage throughout his batttle with cancer. I have seen first hand what cancer can and will do to the human body. It is a very horrible way to die. Your body just seems to melt away, all the way down to bone.

I think his death affected me more than Michael Jackson's passing. I really enjoyed his movies but he just seemed like such a great guy and a loving husband. Pancreatic cancer is a vicious killer. My cousin died last year after just a 2 month battle with it. It's one of those cancers that spreads exceedingly fast. R.I.P. Patrick Swayze...he will be missed.
