A private memorial for Patrick Swayze has been held on the Sony Studios lot in Culver City, California on Sunday, October 5. The late star’s friends and family were snapped attending the memorial, which was planned by his actress wife Lisa Niemi. At that time, Whoopi Goldberg, Patrick’s co-star on “Ghost”, was seen among the mourners.
According to People, guests who came to the service were greeted by Patrick’s lone white horse. “It’s an old horseman tradition,” a source said of the memorial, which featured speeches celebrating the actor’s life and a performance by professional dancers to honor his talent.
“A whole dance floor was built. The dancers did these amazing numbers,” the source continued. Moreover, lots of photos which captured Patrick riding his horses and a video tribute to him were also included in the service.
“Dirty Dancing” star Patrick Swayze passed away on September 14 at the age of 57. Leaving his family and friends, he died after battling pancreatic cancer for about 20 months.
