I was blessed to meet Patrick Swayze in person in NY. I was a photo editor at TV Guide st the time and the Hallmark Channel was one of the networks I was responsible for. Patrick had just done a movie for Hallmark & I got an invitation for the movie. Not only did I meet Patrick but I met his wife Lisa and his brother. I told Patrick how much his performance in "Ghost" brought me to tears because my Dad had died suddenly from a heart attack the month before. As I'm telling Patrick all this, tears welled up in his eyes. His father had died suddenly from a heart attack, too. Patrick was so nice. I will NEVER forget meeting & talking to him. ❤

Patrick was one of my favorite actors. I still can’t believe he’s gone.

A friend of mine knew his next door neighbors and he would go over to their house and hang out with them. They said he was one of the nicest people you’d ever meet.

Talking about someone paying their dues. He deserved everything that he had. So sad that his dad didn't get to enjoy any of it. RIP Patrick. Thanks and God bless.

My cousins attended Waltrip High School in Houston with Patrick Swayze. My Aunt knew Patsy Swayze. Everyone in Houston knew Patsy. Patrick lived three miles from my house in Lake View Terrace. My husband met him shortly before he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Just wish my husband would have gotten his autograph for me. I wanted to meet him. He was a true Texan gentleman. Very down to earth. Very nice very polite. He loved his fans loyalty.

Used to Detail cars for the stars back in the day. He was the Nicest. One ever ! Big Tipper !

Patrick, was a great person. I met him when he did the movie The Outsiders. I was a person who sign a petition to have it to become a movie. Great video about Patrick Swayze..

Though I was a fan of his movies, my favorite memory is him performing alongside Chris Farley on SNL competing as a Chippendale dancer. Awesome vlog and sounded like a great guy

Jordan you are a gift to those of us outside of the LA seen. I lived in the LA in the 80s and just want to say THANK YOU for all your hard word to tell many of LA ’s compelling stories. You are an EXCELENTE story teller and I believe I am beginning to see what Shelly saw in you. You are special, and should not give up on acting. You have a unique ability to communicate, don't deny your gift my friend!

Hi Jordan from Athens, Greece. Thank you so much for doing this blog of Patrick Swayze, you are a Peach! I read that the resort, where they filmed Dirty Dancing, at "Mountain Lake Lodge" in Virginia still honors the movie, in fact, they have a "Dirty Dancing Themed Weekend package", where you can learn some of the dances. They also have a stone memorial in honor of Patrick Swayze, R.I.P.

Still catching up, Jordan! I adored Patrick Swayze! Ghost and Dirty Dancing are 2 of my favorite movies of his💖💖💖. Such a terribly sad loss💔💔

he was one of those rare people ❤️ i miss him

I always idolized Patrick Swayze. It turned out that we were born within a couple of months of each other, and he lived a couple of streets over from me in the Oak Forest neighborhood of Houston. My family moved to another neighborhood when I was 3; otherwise, Patrick and I would have gone to elementary, middle school, and high school together. Anyway, a wonderful video about a great man. Thank you, Jordan.

Patrick was so incredibly talented and so many million ways.

Great vlog. Thank you for covering Patrick. I loved watching him dance. He was so powerful and yet graceful at the same time. He didn't get along well with Jennifer Grey when they were working on Dirty Dancing. She was known to get on Patrick's nerves at times. I was heartbroken when I learned that Patrick had Pancreatic cancer. It was so hard to watch this beautiful, graceful man die before our eyes. We lost someone special when Patrick died. I hope Patrick is resting in peace. I miss you Patrick and life is a little less bright without you in in. Thanks for doing one of your lovely vlogs on Patrick. Stay safe and take care.

Thank you for profiling our hometown boy Patrick Swayze- he’s from the same part of Houston I’m from. Our pediatrician who kept in contact with him and was close friends with his family just died in August. He had his autograph and my mom was good friends with him and worked as his nurse for a while and got to see it ... Such a great guy who never forgot his roots. He was a party guy at Waltrip high school and they called him crazy Swayze my youth leader who knew him once told me. Our Dr. told us he complained about dancing at his mamas studio but he once told him it got him to where he was he can’t complain much anymore lol

I still miss Patrick Swayze and very talented. May he Rest in Peace. He was a good actor. But my favorites will always be Dirty Dancing and Ghost. This was a very good vlog and I enjoyed hearing about his childhood and his early years. As usual you did a great job. Thank you

Jah is so sweet waiting to go for his walk , just like my dog !

A friend of mine met Patrick when he was working in the West End in London, England. She said he was a absolute gentleman. He was a very sincere & caring man.

Thank you, Jordan for telling the story of Patrick Swayze’s life. I knew a little bit about his life but not much. There’s so much I didn’t know about his life. Every time life gave him lemons he made a lot of lemonade. Didn’t really know much at all about his parents. He had a whole lot of interests . He had a very balanced life. Thank you for showing the places where he lived. He was hard watching the toll his cancer had on him. His brother Don looks just like Patrick. Enjoy watching Jah in the park. You always do a great job at telling peoples stories. I learn a lot from you. Appreciate all the hard work time and effort you put into your vlogs. God bless you in all you do and keep you safe everywhere you go.

Always loved Patrick Swayze. He was a real Gentleman in the movies and a real athlete. He gave everything he had. Great tribute Jordan.

I have always loved Patric Swayze. Thank you for telling his story as only you can.

Jordan, you did this Vlog serious Justice! Patrick Swayze was an Icon in his own right. My mom still has her Patrick Swayze poster with Patrick in overalls with one side un-buttoned. I guess that was sexy in the 80's. When Swayze died she put the huge poster in a frame and hung it up in her sewing room and cried for a week, its still on the wall😔 😔 😔 . Patrick was her "Teen Heart-throb" and Dirty Dancing is her Favorite movie.

Patrick was my all time favorite actor!!! You’ve done him Justice!!! Be proud of this Vlog. And I agree with you his book is a must read!! I miss you Patrick Swayze 🙏🏻❤️

I worked for his brother in law who was a remodel contractor. He always said that Patrick was a really good guy. we were supposed to build a post and beam barn for Patrick but it never came through while I was working for the brother in law. I enjoy your web site! you visit a lot of cool local places. Thanks.

What a nice tribute to Patrick! A lot of things I had no idea. Your enthusiasm and kindness shine through! Always loved him! 💜

Unconditional love is such a great thing to learn from a dad. Bravo and Bravo again, Jordan!

i REALLY LIKE Patrick Swayze, he was a good actor and seemed really nice down to earth guy. So young to pass away, I cant believe its been 11 years, Wonderful tribute Jordan well done

Wow.... that was an amazing, but sad story. I never knew all of this about him. I love Patrick Swayze ! He was an awesome actor. My husband looks a little bit like him, but my 5 year old grandson looks exactly like Patrick Swayze. Thank you Jordan for sharing all of this about him with us !! I love it...!! ❤

I like the way Jordan put's it all together!!

Jordan, you did him justice! He was "good people"! Gone far too soon from a dreaded disease. He fought the good fight and left us all a wonderful body of work and example! Thank you, Jordan.

Dirty Dancing was my favorite movie but he made a lot of good movies. Thank you for the awesome blog today.Hug Jah for me. Stay safe and happy!

Patrick Swayze has always been one of my favorite actors! You did such an amazing job in your vlog telling about his life! Including all of the ups and downs. Definitely gone way too young!! ❤️

Thank You for making this vlog, Jordan. I have long been a Patrick Swayze fan since I saw him in the TV mini series North and South and continued to love him in his many iconic roles. Him playing a Drag Queen in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar was totally a off the wall change for him , but I just loved him in that role and the film. It really stands out to me as him proving he was a actor. It was heartbreaking to learn he had passed and like many I had hoped he would win his cancer battle. It was great getting to know more about his life. Patrick's success , many great films and performances surely would have made Buddy proud like that DeLorean did. They will always be there for us fans who love and miss him to remember him .

This was a great video on Patrick Swayze, he was one of my favorite actors. Ghost was one of my favorites. Thank you for doing a nice video on him. Mary also read that book and thought it was great. He fought for his life right to the end.

Right when you said he got a Delorean I was thinking please tell me there is a picture of Patrick Swayze with a Delorean! 😹😻

Not many actors have as many iconic roles as Patrick. Most actors have 1 or 2. He had Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Roadhouse and Point Break. All classics.

That was great, I am a big fan of Patrick Swayze, he was such a lovely guy but he died far too young. Wish he was still here. R I P Patrick.

Thank You for your vlog, I am new to yours but am enjoying them all immensely. This one is so informative and interesting, certain things I was not aware of, but gives us a real glimpse into the man he was, and how he fought through all the adversities and carried on. He was obviously gorgeous, not just on the outside (swoon :), but on the inside too. His dancing was something else. I am so glad he danced with his wife on stage, that is a memory she will surely treasure. He has surely left his legacy in the films he made, and that was his calling in the end. Looking forward to watching more vlogs, well done Jordan!

A great actor that we lost much too soon. Thanks for the terrific video.

Patrick was a pilot and once was flying over Prescott Az. He had to make a emergency landing at a housing development that had not built homes yet. The sheriff of Yavapai County had been looking for Swayze and had planned to charge him with drinking. This is the story I had been told many times while living in Prescott Valley near where the accident took place.

Hi Jordan, well I could see the Jahster was getting himself all psyched up for the dog park. Loved the story of how the bullies got beat up, like the old saying goes 'you reap what you sow'! What sad stories at his parents graveside and another great actor who died far too soon. Great vlog Jordan.

Are you still detailing cars? His car wasn't an Aston Martin DB5, I'm presuming. When I lived in Hollywood in the 80's, one of the guys that I shared a house with, started his own car detailing business in Beverly Hills. He just passed out cards putting them on mailboxes, and said he didn't get his best customer until a year later. He inspired me to start my own pool service business in the same area.

My second visit to this vlog. I did actually buy the audio book by Patrick and his wife, Incredible stuff. I was devastated when I learned Patrick had cancer. In many ways he was great and talented individual. RIP Patrick Swayze.

Your vlog is better than most of the "documentaries" about Patrick Swayze. I grew up in Houston in the same neighborhood as the Swayze's . Patrick( was a few years older), I was in class with his younger brother Donnie. Donnie used to shoot spit wads at me in English class to get my attention ,when I needed to "move over enough) so he could see my paper. LOL We all went to Waltrip High School in Oak Forest, suburb of Houston . Shelly Duvall, who played Olive Oil In Popeye, also went to Waltrip( her brother,Stewart,was my age). Most of my childhood friends attended dance class with Patsy, when we were seven and eight. I'm pretty sure the entire Swayze clan would have loved being friends with you Jordan. Thanks for all the great work you do.

Wonderful vlog Jordan! I have always liked Patrick Swayze as a person and as an actor. RIP Patrick Swayze.

Great job Jordan! What a contribution Patrick and wife Lisa gave to the Arts. Loved his dancing and movies.

I'm 66 years old and I enjoy your videos. They're new exciting and fresh. Guess I'm young at heart.

You covered his life and family so well. I really enjoyed this.

Fantastic video! I have always enjoyed Patrick and his life journey. I’ve watched the Barbra Walters special with him and his wife. What a fascinating guy! He also if I’m not mistaken came up with the song She’s Like The Wind and sang the song. There is a video talking about how nervous he was to sing in front of a camera and people. Just a real true upfront honest, open guy that I was so interested in knowing all about him . Wonderful job sharing his story, very nicely done! I appreciate the work involved in you making the video!

I love Patrick Swayze! Thank you for doing this.

@Daze with Jordan the Lion Boy this was amazing, it made me cry . Really loved his spirit and heart. I followed his career for a very long time .His body of work was truly inspirational. Outsiders was one of my favorite films. I had read the book. I enjoyed all his films to be honest. It was such a tragedy he lost his life so soon. I was so impressed with this vlog. You just keep getting better if that's even possible. Much love and thank you for YOUR body of work. 🙂

Hey Jordan, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Patrick and his family. Patrick has been a favourite of mine since I was a little kid, and it’s really nice to see someone do a vlog on him. Thanks again x

Jordan!! I just loved this video!! You tell a story so well. Patrick would have liked the way you spoke of him. You honored Patrick well!! HEy Jah!!

Thank you so much for this piece on Patrick Swayze. I loved him in Ghost, but his dancing in Dirty Dancing was amazing. I think I saw that movie in a cinema at least three times. 'Nobody puts Baby down'. Love your vlogs. Love old Hollywood, and man, you have taught me a lot about the 'golden' days of Hollywood.

Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 simply adored this wonderful man,enjoyed this very much seeing how he started out on his career.

Jordan - Thank you for this video. I never knew about some of his other aspirations. It says a lot about his character that he didn't let those early set backs get him down. He just changed/adjusted his goals. I don't know if I could be that resilient. I've always had a lot of respect for him as an artist and now even more as a human being. Thank you Jordan. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭

Great vlog, I remember the chase scene in Point Break, I met Keanu Reeves while he was making Speed and I asked him about that scene - he said Patrick said "lets go Reeves" and that it took 3 days to shoot.

This is such a heartfelt video filled with bittersweet memories Patrick was such a sweet man I'm so happy that he had a great relationship with his father and mother seemed like a great family I miss Patrick so much r.i.p Patrick and his mom and dad

Another great masterpiece!!! Jordan, you have produced one masterpiece after another! I can hardly wait to see the next one. Shelly Winters was so insightful in your talents and knew that you were on the road to success!

When his father died he was just about 57, and Patrick was almost exactly the same age when he died.

This was such an absolutely special, interesting, happy and sad vlog, all combined. I’ll be checking out his book. You covered everything, Jordan. Thanks!

How very special you are, Jordan, to pay so much attention and tell the whole story. Thankyou.

Always liked Patrick Swayze's movies! My favorite was the bank robber one with skydiving. I'm terrible at remembering names. Sad story looking back but life's not all a bed of roses. The book sounds great I'll have to buy it! RIP Patrick!!! Great job on your video about the man!!!

It's so great that he stayed grounded despite super stardom and married his first love. I saw his documentary and read his book. He lived a great life.
