Too sad, I liked this guy a lot, as he was one of the gang of male actors from my age group who all started out as young actors together in the movie adaptation of the Outsiders, he as the oldest brother and friend of Tom Cruise, Ralph Maccio, Emilio Estevez,and Matt Dillon .... obviously going on to make other great movies, 3 of which happen to be favorites of mine, Ghost, Roadhouse and Point Break.
This was one of the lighter moments of his excellent career in the land of loons which he was not one of thank the lord above

The end scene and line of the movie Ghost couldn't be more appropriate.....

When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was 'considerably more optimistic' than that. Swayze acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature" read more
