Mark Ledsom Obituary, Death Cause – It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we come together to remember and honor our friend, colleague, and fellow Hatter, Mark Ledsom. Mark’s sudden and tragic passing has left a deep void within our Luton Town family, and we are united in grief as we bid farewell to a remarkable individual. Mark Ledsom was not only a professionally trained broadcaster and journalist with over two decades of experience in the media and communications industry, but he was also a passionate supporter of our beloved Luton Town Football Club. His career journey took him to some of the industry’s most significant broadcasters, including Sky Sports, BBC, and Thomson Reuters. His expertise and dedication to his craft were undeniable.

In 2008, Mark transitioned into the field of corporate communications, where he continued to excel. His role at FIFA, where he launched and edited their new monthly four-language magazine, was a testament to his capabilities. Upon returning to the UK in 2014, he took on the role of managing communications for Transport Systems Catapult, a government-backed technology and innovation center. Mark’s influence on our club was profound, even before he officially joined our media team this summer. He provided the club with invaluable PR advice and guidance during our remarkable journey from non-league to the Premier League. Mark’s commitment to Luton Town was unwavering, and he was immensely proud to be part of the team.

In his short time with us, Mark made an indelible mark on his colleagues, who quickly warmed to his passion for his work, our club, and our town. He fulfilled his dream by joining our media team, and he was thrilled to make his press box debut in the Premier League match at Brighton. Tragically, Mark’s life was cut short by cancer, just a month after his diagnosis and one day after he should have celebrated his 50th birthday. He leaves behind his loving wife, Louise, and their three children Max, Kurt, and Anya. Our hearts ache for them, as well as for his sister Jane, who is well-known among the Hatters fan base.
