Ok yeah I don't know the guy but he was the one who got me interested in art and dance and musicals. Dirty Dancing he's big tribute film has been my favorite film since I was probably 7. It's a film that can make you laugh cry and smile all at once really and it has such a beautiful love song in it that Patrick Swayze wrote himself 'She's like the Wind'.

Let's also not forget his debut in Donnie Darko, Ghost, Point Break, Christmas in Wonderland which shows not only is he a talented dancer he was a talented actor.

His last official debut was in the Broadway show of guys and dolls. Charley and Chicago.

Ok it's not the worst thing to happen in the world but let's also conciser his pancreatic cancer, his father death from a heart attack and his sister committing suicide.

He was a fighter to the end and I for one will not forget him. He will live on in my heart and I will not forget him.

R.I.P Swayze you did too young but old enough to have lived.
