On Sunday, (October 4) Patrick Swayze‘s friends and family had a private memorial at the Sony Studios to remember the actor. At the ceremony, organized by his wife Lisa Niemi, attendees such as Whoopi Goldberg, were welcomed by a white horse missing its rider with Patrick’s boots facing backwards in the stirrups.

A source said: “It’s an old horseman tradition.”

The whole ceremony was to celebrate Swayze and his life. He passed away on September 17 after fighting a nearly two year battle with pancreatic cancer.

The ceremony included a video tribute, speeches, photographs of the actor and dance routines.

Another source said: “A whole dancefloor was built. The dancers did these amazing numbers.”

I can’t even imagine how moving that must have been for everyone attending. Since he has passed away, I’ve been watching Dirty Dancing, and Ghost was on the TV the other night, and I just get so into the movies. I don’t know why his passing has hit so hard, but I am really sad that Patrick Swayze has passed away.
