Fans Gather to Remember Patrick Swayze

Patrick Swayze fans held a small memorial at the Firefly Cove in Lake Lure, N.C. yesterday to remember the beloved actor.

Patrick Swayze

The site was chosen because "Dirty Dancing" was filmed there.

Swayze died last week at the age of 57 after a 20 month battle with pancreatic cancer.

5. I really hoped that he would have beaten that cancer. Pancreatic cancer is what took my Grandmother. She found out she had it in late November and she died in late January. It's a silent and quick killer and I am glad that PS gave it a good fight.

I hope his family can find solice and peace.

14. hello
i am the person that told everybody that Kooky and Balls are the same person. Now, I am here to tell you that Kooky , Balls, and Mr Magoo may be the same person. AND Mr Magoo, is trying to take credit for my findings.

I will sure miss Pat Swayze and WHO SAYS THAT road house is a GUY movie? he and Sam Elliott are totally the best ever.
He shouda done brokebutt mountain, or at least a Western, while he was here with us. He was such a great actor.

BTW Kooky is lame, and Balls is stupid. Patrick Swayze, HAD TALENT !

15. Geniuses at TMZ,

RIP to Patrick. But get your facts straight. A large portion of the movie Dirty Dancing was also filmed at Mountain Lake, VA.
