Stephen "Steve" Beaumont from Bessacarr, Doncaster (formerly of Scawsby) was killed in a motorbike accident when a car pulled out on him while he was riding his Ducati 749 on Stripe Road Nr Tickhill, Doncaster on 1st September 2006 at 11:31am. He was 27.

He breezed through School, whilst working his way up through the Scouts (In fact he was the first guy in Doncaster (maybe even Yorkshire) who went all the way from the beginning to the end, achieving his Duke of Edinburgh award and Queen Scout status). He went on to gain a degree in Geology at Durham University and went on to become an Applied Drilling Technologist (after a few speedy promotions) for Halliburton Sperry Sun Drilling, a job he enjoyed, but which took him away from home for two weeks of every month.

He has one younger brother, Andrew and a father Mick who are both motorbike enthusiasts. His mother Margaret passed away in February 2006 after suffering from MS for many years. Steve was devastated by this, but was relieved that she was free from pain. I know he will be looking after her now.

Steve got along with everyone he met and was always interested in whatever they had to say. He REALLY was a golden boy (a fact which we used to joke about!), good at everything he set his mind to and a lovely, genuine person. He should still be here.

He passed his bike test when he was 21, but had been on or around bikes since he was a nipper - in fact his first word was "bike". He was always talking about everything bike and reading up and going on trackdays to make himself a better rider. He worked so hard to buy his dream bike, a Ducati. I remember a poster of a Ducati 916 being on his wall when I first met him and he said "I will own a Duke one day". He was on his Ducati just nipping to Tesco to jet wash it to make sure it was well-cleaned to store it away for the winter when he was killed by a moron who did not even look before pulling out. He was killed instantly.

He had also bought a 1972 Honda CB350 K4. He was doing it up and was going to race it (well try to!) in the next classic racing season. Sadly, this wasn't meant to be : (

We had planned a trip to Italy in October starting off in Florence, then moving on to Rome and finally ending up in Naples/Pompeii. Steve planned alot of this and had researched into all the places to visit while we were there. He was so excited about going and I couldn't wait to go there with him. Italy was one of the places we dreamed about living in one day.

Losing Steve was my worst nightmare amplified. Steve was my soul mate. We were together for almost 5 years (would have been 5 years on 26th September) and lived together for 2 and a half of them, but it felt such a short time. I love him with all my heart. I couldn't believe that I had met someone I loved so much and had so much in common with, i.e. bikes, music, food, wine etc and a biker! I had an affinity with bikes since I was a child too, as both my parents ride and always secretly hoped I would meet someone with a passion for motorcycling and did I! He was my best friend and he was spanking gorgeous. He made me laugh all the time. He was truthfully hardly ever without a smile on his face. I don't know what I am going to do without him. I miss him so much and I really thought we would grow old and grey together. I feel so sorry for him. He had such a lot to live for and relished every moment as though it was his last. I feel so grateful for the time we had together and I am glad I made the last 5 years of his life happy ones. Only the best seem to get taken too early.

This is not goodbye gorgeous. You truly didn't deserve this. I will see you again x

Birthday!

Well Mr Beaumont I am 28 today. Was freaking out a bit yesterday because you were only 27 when you died, which made me think "am I going to make it?". I'm getting older - which is okay, as you always said the alternative doesn't bear thinking about - and hopefully wiser.

I really do miss you.

Love always, Steph xxxxx

So much time has passed, but it still feels like yesterday that I got a visit from the Police when my whole world quite literally fell apart. I'm not the same person I was. Everyone seems to think i'm stronger, which maybe I am in some respects, but inside I'm still broken. I still like to believe that you still exist in some form or another and are happy and that I just can't be with you, because I think otherwise the pain comes back tenfold and is unbearable.

I hope you approve of how my life is now. I'm trying my hardest to be happy, although my cynical side keeps making an appearance...

I'll always love you, you kind, kind, warm-hearted man

Another colleague of Steve's and myself were reminiscing about Steve this evening and I looked up his name and found this website. All of us at Halliburton have such wonderful memories of him. He was always upbeat and smiling; a real joy to work with. I accompanied Steve on his very first trip offshore in the North Sea and I remember his excitement at his first helicopter trip!

From the very beginning I knew that he would go far in the industry and in his so sadly short career he was well on his way.

Steve is to this day remembered with great affection by us all.

♥The gift of life is given, then its cruelly snatched away♥
♥It leaves so many broken hearts & sadness, come what may♥

♥Especially now at Christmas, which you loved with all your heart♥
♥The thought of you not being here is tearing us apart♥.

♥And yet we must be thankful, for the happy times we spent♥
♥When love & laughter filled the air, before the magic went♥

♥The pictures are so clear today, of a happy smiling face♥
♥The kind of perfect loveliness, which no-one can replace♥

♥This little Christmas message is to let you know for sure♥
♥The love that’s felt for you lives on, and will forever more.♥

It's almost Christmas. Who knows if you would've been home from work for this one. I know how much you loved Christmas and I loved spending that time with you.

I still think about you every day and how wonderful you were and will always have a part of me that is sad knowing you died far too young and beautiful...

Your Steph xxxxx

Still Miss You...

I'll never understand why our loved ones get taken from us, especially when they have not yet lived the long life they deserve. I need answers, as does everyone else, but I guess the only way I can truly know is when my time comes too. I hope I live a long life for you and that I make you proud.

Thanks for putting up with me...

7 Years.

Wow! It would have been 7 years today that we were together. Who knows, we may have even been married?! hehe.

Your face is always in my head and even though I will try, I will never be truly happy knowing you no longer walk on this earth.

I am still everso angry at what happened to you, but there is no point in being angry anymore. It is a wasted emotion. I am trying to be positive and remembering how happy-go-lucky you were, am trying to be that way myself.

I will always love you.
