The entertainment world is mourning another member of the Swayze family. Sean Swayze, the younger brother of iconic actor Patrick Swayze, has died. He was 63 years old.
Cause of Death and Final Days
According to a death certificate obtained by TMZ, Sean Swayze passed away in Los Angeles on December 15. The listed cause was an acute upper gastrointestinal bleed. This medical event was attributed to severe metabolic acidosis, esophageal varices, and alcoholic liver cirrhosis.
At the time of his death, Sean was working as an entertainment teamster, a role reported by People magazine. He was a widower and is survived by his three children: Cassie, Kyle, and Jesse.
A Family's Heartfelt Tribute
Cousin Rachel Leon shared the sad news and a touching tribute on Instagram. Her post featured a photo of Sean wearing a special Dirty Dancing crawfish-themed T-shirt, a nod to his late brother's most famous film.
"I’m heartbroken to share that my cousin Sean Swayze passed away," Leon wrote. "He was always fun and full of life." She explained that the shirt was part of a marketing idea to honour Patrick, and that Sean wore it proudly.
Leon expressed deep sorrow, mentioning recent plans for Sean to visit Texas. She extended prayers to his brother, Don Swayze, and Sean's children, writing, "We are praying hard for the entire family during this difficult time."
The Swayze Legacy
Sean was the younger sibling of Patrick Swayze, the beloved star of classic films like Ghost, Road House, The Outsiders, and Dirty Dancing. Patrick died in 2009 at age 57 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
The loss of Sean Swayze marks another chapter of grief for the family, which has now seen two brothers pass away in their sixties. The tributes highlight a man remembered for his vibrant spirit and his connection to a Hollywood legacy that continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
