A Good Person, A Sad Loss

This is how I will remember Patrick Swayze.

A man who loved Arabian horses. He had the Straight Egyptian Stallion, Tammen until the horses death in 1999. I believe he did the top poster for charity. I know he was a successful actor, but to me he was Tammen's person.

I loved him as an actor. I loved him more for being an actor who was also a decent human being.

His grace and goodness have left the world a better place. His legacy lives on, in the spirit in which he lived and died.

He seemed like a really nice man. I loved how devoted he was to his wife (and vice-versa).

He was an advocate for animals and just a decent person in general.

He was a beautiful spirit and will be missed very much.

I miss him as well. He was an amazing actor and being a horse person to boot...I heart him too.

The thing that struck me about him was I found him to be very gracious. His death is a sad loss.

I didn't know he was a horse person. I knew him for his singing, acting, and dancing. I loved his movies. I also admired how he lead a decent private life. He and his wife loved each other and were a real couple. Nothing trashy like so many of today's so called stars. He was a good a decent man, one that you could see being a neighbor. He will be missed by many.

My deepest condolences for his friends, family, and his many fans.

Thanks for posting those photo's, I've seen many of him, but never those.

I always thought that Patrick was a class act. Handsome, talented & respectable. When he became involved in Arabian horses, it was the icing on the cake. He left his mark on the hearts of many of us. Even though I did not know him personally, I felt like I did.
