Today we morn the loss of one of our biggest heroes here at COED.  After a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze passed away with his family at his side. He was 57.   But rather dwell in sadness and sorrow for perhaps film’s all-time biggest badass, let’s take a moment to remember the man and the roles that drove us crazy for the Swayze.  And in the words of  Johnny Utah at the end of Point Break, “Via Con Dios” dude.  We will miss you.
