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...

Thinking of you
Steph
Just to let you know im thinking of you. I know that i dont know you or Stephen but im sure he will be fine up there with my brother and the rest of the young lads. Try and stay strong i know it's hard. Im here if you need me. xx
New Year...
Baby, I can't believe it is New Year's Eve tomorrow and you are not going to be there. I am going to your dad's house as usual. It is going to be hard without you there, but it is tradition and needs to be done.
Dad has just visited. He brought me a locket back from Florence (Firenze!). I have put a lock of your hair in it. I can't believe that is all I have left of you. I will cherish it forever. I love you.
I think about you every second of the day (literally). I just want you to walk in and make everything alright again.
xxxxxxxx
Missing you so much. Christmas just went by in a blur. I know you were hardly ever back for it, but we had our "own" Christmas before you went away to work. And on Christmas day, I would open a couple of pressies from you while you were away and you would sneak one on the helicopter to open on the rig. We would then save the rest to open together over a glass of cava and a mince pie!
I can't stand hearing bl**dy "all I want for christmas is you" by Mariah Carey because it always meant exactly that to me when you were away, but I knew you were coming back. Now I know you never are and the only thing I want for Christmas I cannot have.
Sorry for babbling baby. I've got to stop feeling sorry for myself, as I am not the one who has no life anymore, although it would be easier all round if I hadn't...
Miss you so much I feel like my heart is just beating for the sake of it...
I need you xxx

I don't want to do today Steve. I am looking forward to being with my family and know they don't want to see me upset, but without you it all seems so pointless. Keep a watch over your dad and your bro today. They will be at Sue and Robins. I am worried about both of them, but especially Andrew. He needs his big bro...
I love you baby. I will try and enjoy today for you.
xxxx
p.s. Thank you everyone for your lovely messages, they mean more than you know...
To Steph and Stephen's family
MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below,
with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away. We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones. You know I hold you dear,
and be glad I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of, of my undying love.
After all "Love" is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
Xmas Eve...
Well Steve, it is Xmas Eve and I am dreading tomorrow. In fact I dread every day knowing you are not coming back to me and those that love you (which is everyone!). Guess what! I am ill again, not the same thing I had over last Xmas and New Year, but I feel terrible. It probably didn't help that I was in a crowded and ridiculously smoky pub on Friday.
I'll be thinking of you (like I have a choice!) today, tomorrow and next day and that next and the next...I bet wherever you are you are having the best Xmas dinner you have ever had!
I love you and every day gets harder the longer you are away from me.
xxxxxxxxx
Missing you...
Steve, I don't know what to do without you. I am so lonely...
Someone "tried" chatting me up last night and even though it was flattering, I felt completely guilty and so upset for even looking in his direction. I am so mixed up. I am completely in love with you, and I need you here to give me a hug and tell me everything is alright. But you're not and it isn't. How am I and your family meant to cope with this? I think it would have been easier if I had been with you when you died, but that is a selfish way to think and I know you would hate me thinking it.
I can't believe I am not going to speak to you, see you or hug you again. You were everything to me...
