Not to mention the fact that his love story with wife Lisa Niemi seems like something taken straight out of a Hollywood movie.
Patrick Wayne Swayze was born on Aug 18, 1952, in Houston, Texas. He and his four siblings were raised by parents Patsy and Jesse Swayze.
Mother Patsy was the director of the Houston Jazz Ballet Company and the father Jesse worked as a chemical plant engineer draftsman.
At a young age, Swayze would turn to the art of dancing. His mother introduced him to ballet at a dance school and, before long, Swayze had fallen in love with it.
