Mark Leduc, Dead at 47Published by Toronto Mike on July 24, 2009 @ 19:17 in Celebrity Deaths
4 Responses to "Mark Leduc, Dead at 47"Melany Johnson Thank-you Russ for your kind words, Leslie Sammut I wrote a poem a few years ago that fits the majority of us but not Mark. It goes like this: TAKE A CHANCE The only real regret that any of us will ever really have isn't that we failed to realize our fondest hopes but that we never even took a grab at the ring. It shows that my brother took that chance of persuing his dream of becoming a boxer even with the struggles that life brought him which made him into the person he was. Jason Paris I used to "crew" Mark for the many years that he worked as a film technician. He was always a friendly voice on the phone and truly a leader in being "out" in competitive sports.

Mark Leduc was 47. He was the Canadian boxer who earned a silver medal in the 139-lb light welterweight class at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona and was one of the few athletes in his sport to come out as a homosexual.
