Patrick Swayze Loses Battle with Cancer



Patrick Swayze died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.

"Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," his publicist, Annett Wolf, said in a statement Monday evening.

Many celebrities including Jennifer Grey, C. Thomas Howell, Demi Moore and many others have spoken about the loss. Even though he had been battling the disease since March 2008 Swayze continued to work on several projects and wrote pieces directed to Congress about funding cancer research. Thoughts go out to his family and friends.
