To some, he was the sexy, hunky actor with the swiveling hips or the sensitive hunk who many dreamed about. To those who knew him, or worked with him, however, Patrick Swayze was a lot more than swagger on display. Those who knew him best, on screen and off, recall him fondly.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
"Patrick Swayze was a talented and passionate artist who struck a memorable chord with audiences throughout the world. He played a wide range of characters both on stage and in movies and his celebrated performances made the hard work of acting look effortless - which I know from experience is not easy. As a fan and as an actor, I admired Patrick and I know that he will be dearly missed. On behalf of all Californians, Maria and I send our deepest condolences to Patrick's family, friends and fans."
Whoopi Goldberg
"
Patrick was a really good man, a funny man and one to whom I owe much that I can't ever repay. I believe in 'Ghost's' message, so he'll always be near."
Gary Busey
"Patrick Swayze was a kindred spirit and a spiritual brother of mine. His focus was center target and his purpose was with faith, kindness, grace, understanding, and love. Patrick Swayze's book of life will never be over because he's moved on to the spiritual plateau where life is forever."
Demi Moore
RIP P Swayze
Larry King
"Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor and a terrific guy. He put his heart in everything. He was an extraordinary fighter in his battle with cancer."
C. Thomas Howell
"I have always had a special place in my heart for Patrick. While I was fortunate enough to work with him in three films, it was our passion for horses that forged a friendship between us that I treasure to this day. Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older 'Outsiders' brother."
