The Life Story of Patrick Swayze

Patrick Swayze was a man who could do it all—he was an actor, a dancer, a singer, and an excellent gymnast. He even flew planes! His passion for dance is something he shared with his mother, and his father helped him make his dreams a reality by instilling principles and morals in him through his childhood. While he’s best-known for his work in Dirty Dancing, there are plenty of films and TV appearances that he’s made. His pancreatic cancer diagnosis broke the hearts of many, and his death was a sad day. Here, we give a detailed description of Patrick Swayze’s life— from birth to death and everything in between.

Patrick Swayze’s Birth

Patrick Swayze was born on August 18, 1952, to Patsy and Jesse Swayze of the Oak Forest neighborhood in Houston, Texas. He has stayed in Oak Forest until the age of twenty. His father made his earnings as a chemical plant engineering draftsman, while his mother ran a dancing school. Patrick was the second of five kids—his four siblings are Sean Kyle, Bambi, Vickie Lynn and Don Swayze—and was raised in the Catholic faith. Patrick is also a direct descendant of John Swasey, who was an Englishman who arrived to Massachusetts aboard The Recovery during the years of the great migration.
