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
Please write a tribute or light a candle for Steve...
My birthday :(
Well baby, tis my birthday on Sat.
I remember last birthday you picked me up from work early and there was some flowers on the seat as I got into the car, we went home and we sat in the conservatory drinking. I remember feeling so happy, as I always was when I was with you :) You never thought you were romantic, but I have never met a more romantic blokey, it was not all chocolates and flowers, it was thinking about the person you were with and taking care of them...
We went for a meal to Santinis. We were all there and it was a really good night. Tis not the same anymore and will definitely not be the same on Sat, but I am determined to keep smiling, even though inside I don't feel like it, and escape from reality for a while!
I love you and was truly happy when you were on this earth...
I will have a few drinks for you darling...

Grieve for me, for I would grieve for you.
Then brush away the sorrow and the tears
Life is not over, but begins anew,
with courage you must greet the coming years.
To live forever in the past is wrong;
can only cause you misery and pain.
Dwell not on memories overlong,
with others you must share and care again.
Reach out and comfort those who comfort you;
recall the years, but only for a while.
Nurse not your loneliness; but live again.
Forget not. Remember with a smile.
Inquest...
Well Friday was a real sh*t of a day.
We got some sort of justice for you though my darling. The professional investigator guy just confirmed what we all knew anyway, but was nice to have it confirmed in front of that fat b**tard lorry driver. I hope he can't sleep at night!
I never thought for a second that you were speeding (not that it matters if you were). Your reaction times were second to none and that just proved to the numpties what a fantastic rider you were. Arrgghhh! Why didn't they look?!
I still can't believe how you managed to bang your head. It was the most unlucky thing of it all and it kills me to think of it.
I love you and not a day, minute, second goes by when you are not in my thoughts.
I will see you again one day...

Just came across this site whilst browsing MySpace, firstly my condolences to you Steph I saw this link whilst browsing your site. I cant begin to imagine how hard this must be for you. I hope can focus on the positives and live your life the way Stephen would have wanted you to.
I lost my best friend of 15 years in a speedway accident in 2002 and I dont think you ever completely come to terms with it, you just have to find some way to continue with your life - I think when people say
