Mark Manring Sturdevant lost his 3-year battle with brain cancer on Friday, January 19, 2024. Mark was born May 29, 1997 in Geauga County and grew up in Concord Township before moving to Painesville in 2019 after the birth of his son, Owen. He attended Phillips-Osborne Academy before transferring to Riverside Schools for middle and high school. Mark went on to earn a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cleveland State University in 2019 and worked at Steris designing and testing sterilizers.
Mark was an accomplished motorcycle racer, two-time CRA dirt track champion, Daytona Bike Week amateur champion, and was on the podium at Amateur National championships in 2015. He also enjoyed cross country and road racing but dirt track was his passion.
This scholarship is being funded because Mark believed that his racing made him a better engineer and in turn, his engineering knowledge made him a better racer. Please consider supporting the Mark Sturdevant '19 Endowed Scholarship. Thank you!
