This made me quite sad but I figured it would happen pretty soon, pancreatic cancer's a bad one.
He really was a great actor and he will be missed.

MmHm. My old roommate's mother died from pancreatic cancer. It really is a brutal one. She said there was no way he'd make it through the year; Unfortunately, she was correct. |

Definitely.. we named our cat Orry after that role. |

So unfortunate. What is this, the 900th celebrity we've lost this year? The "Memoriam" parts of next year's award ceremonies are going to be 20 minutes long. |

This is so sad. He's one of those actors that my generation grew up with.
I LOVED him as Darrel Curtis in The Outsiders. Damn you cancer!!! |

I saw the following facebook status of one of my friends and couldn't help but laugh: "YO PATRICK SWAYZE I KNOW YOU JUST DIED AND ALL AND IMMA LET U FINISH BUT MICHAEL JACKSON'S DEATH WAS THE BEST ONE THIS YEAR" -Kanye West But seriously...his talent will be missed...RIP... |

Ok that shit is funny!!!! I'm outting that on my facebook!!!! |

I think everyone should stop giving Kanye West the attention he wants. He's being a douchebag for publicity, it will taper off if the entire internet stops buzzing every time he does something stupid. | ||||||||||||

So sad. He was a special and talented performer.

It has been a tough year.....maybe we can go the last four months of the year without any more like this... | ||||||||||||

I was thinking along the same lines..."Swayze completes 'Ghost' sequel." *sigh* |
||||||||||||
| Salome |
some of the big losses this year....
Ted Kennedy Dominick Dunne Natasha Richardson * Frank McCourt Patrick Swayze Karl Malden * David Carradine Bea Arthur * Susanah Foster Pat Hingle * Harve Presnell * Sydney Chaplin * Larry Gelbart * Farrah Fawcett Ed McMahon Micheal Jackson Ron Silver * Marylin Cooper Ricardo Montalbahn Don Hewitt Virginia Davis Eunice Kennedy Shriver Mort Gottlieb David Eddings Harry Alan Towers Harry Towb Dom DeLuise Blossom Dearie Edward Downes Molly Sugden Wendy Ritchard Walter Cronkite Billy Mays |

You forgot Walter Cronkite. Shame. And Billy Mays. 
|
||||||||||||
| Salome |
added. i cant believe i forgot cronkite! | ||||||||||||
| Patch |
Not to disrespect the man or his death...but Billy Mays in that list just seems SO out of place. | ||||||||||||
| Brock07 |
I agree....I was just trying to be cheeky by poking fun that he was famous for selling Oxyclean. |
||||||||||||
| Patch |
And getting coked up and trying to fly a plane... But back on topic...I had the pleasure of meeting Swayze and his family back around five years ago...you couldn't have asked for a nicer more down to earth guy! Just humble and generous guy. And a true talent that I think far too often has been overlooked. |

Interestingly, on the BBC News website's "Most read stories" list, Swayze's death comes second to the death of Keith Floyd (basically the first successful TV chef).
You can add him to your list - he was a big name in the UK. |

I Youtubed it but nothing came up...
If someone else knows something else to search for it under, be my guest. |

I learned a valuable lesson today: Don't read M.net when you are drinking coffee! It will end up out of your nose! LOL! 
Anyway, holy crap, Salome! That's quite a list! On the award shows, when they do the "In Memorium" section, it's gonna take an hour just to get through that! A lot of big deaths in the entertainment world... |

And let us not forget dance phenom, Merce Cunningham.
What a horrible year for deaths. Strangely enough this is also the year that all of my friends had children. It must be the universe evening things out. |
||||||||||||
| jazzygirlsings |
Interesting thought...
I believe the Universe always balances things out...Time for new phenoms to emerge, I guess!
I'm still wondering how they are going to address all of the deaths this year in the award shows, yearly recaps, etc... |

| Yakko |
I know.....When I heard he died I felt like my childhood went down to his grave with him! |

What makes it even sadder...was that the voice of Minnie Mouse was his wife! |

Way to steal my thunder, Jazzy.

And that they had FIVE kids!!!! That's just tragic!!! |

That's so sad. The man upstairs must have some extra special performance planned up there for all the talent.

My PE teacher told us Patrick Swayze died at the beginning of class and I thought I was going to cry. I really wanted to meet him someday.
