‘Just recently, we were talking about him coming down to Texas to spend time with us, and I was really looking forward to it. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his brother Don Swayze and his children, Cassie Swayze , Kyle Swayze and Jesse Swayze.

‘We are praying hard for the entire family during this difficult time. Please know that we love you and are always here for you. Sean, I love you so much, and we will miss you dearly.’

The T-shirt was a reference to the film Dirty Dancing, which starred his famous brother.

Patrick was nominated for a Golden Globe award for his work in Dirty Dancing, in which he taught Jennifer Grey’s awkward Baby to dance and to become true to herself.

The film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival and opened in theaters August 21, 1987.

He continued to hone his craft in the romantic drama Ghost in 1990 with Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg.

The film won two Oscars for best original screenplay and a best supporting actress award for Whoopi as a psychic who helped the Swayze’s character communicate with his bereaved girlfriend and keep her safe.

In his autobiography Time of My Life, Patrick revealed he wasn’t as confident in love scenes as he appeared on screen. ‘Of all the scenes I ever shot, I probably felt least confident about the love scenes.’

‘So it’s ironic that the clip of Demi and me at the pottery wheel is one of the best known of my whole career.’

Patrick who had been earning a reputation as an action star, as well as a romantic lead, surprised audiences when he signed on to star as a drag queen in the comedy, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.
