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...

Hello Steph, i know its going to be hard for you all at xmas , but you will find the will to carry it through x even if it is only for the young ones in life . the pain does get easier it never will go away but your memories take over x remember the good times always... thinking of you all at christmas , try and enjoy !!! love tilda
To Steph
Thank you for all the messages of support that you have left on Craig's web page, it really does mean alot to me and our family.
its really hard trying to make choices about ashes and funnerals and stuff.
Although Craig and I are young like yourselves we did disscuss funneral stuff, prob because of the type of job we both did and the things we have seen, but I couln't remember how the conversation went if Craig wanted burried or cremated. I found it so hard as I wanted to give him his wish, but I really couldn't remember. I spoke with Craig's mum and sister about it and they made a very valid point, and that was Craig would want you to do whatever made you happy and comfortable. that how i came to my decission, I have no regrets we did him proud.
So I think Stephen would want you to do what made you happy.
This life is so hard and you like me will always wonder what the meaning of this is and try and understand, but we will never know.
This life is very much an existance for myself and you without our loved ones, I cant be bothered with xmas. there isnt a xmas decoration or card in sight.
I do think that what ever you do from now on you will have a delightful angel looking and watcing over you for the rest of your life and im so sure you have made Stephen so proud and will continue to do so.
I am very sorry for your loss I really am, I hope that Stephen and Craig has meet up and are racing up there.
Take Care Steph, Thinking about you as we have so much in common. we will all be here for each other.

Have bought a couple of books for Chloe as a present from her "Uncle" Steve - you never heard her call you that, but she regarded you as such. Don't worry, they are educational books, but fun! I'm hoping Chloe and Olivia will make Christmas day bearable and take my mind off things for a short while...
I just feel so sorry for you Steve. I REALLY hope you are somewhere better than this cruel world?
Love "your" baby xxx
Steph
Hi steph this message is for you. My mun said Claire also went through agonies of what to do for the best when craig died. Where would he most like to be and like yourself, never having expected this to happen they had never spoken about what to do.
The answer is this Stephen would like you to put him wherever you feel close and comforted as you would had the roles been reversed. Stephen probably wouldn't care where he was as long as it made you as happy as you can be in the circumstances.
Thinking of you all jen xx
I love you...
"I love you" just doesn't seem to say enough to describe how I feel about you. Nothing is the same anymore. Mum has just had her offer accepted on a house in Epworth and John's is going on the market, so, even though I am happy for them, even that is changing. What am I going to do?
Had a good night with Jo last night at her works do. There were some strange characters there, but also some fab ones. I stop and think about all the new people I have met since losing you and how I probably wouldn't have met them while you were here. However, I still haven't met anyone like you though, you were so amazing and lit up the room when you walked in- I just loved how we could be in a situation together and have the same thoughts on it and not even have to speak to know what we each were thinking, just a look would do.
I am so worried about what is going to happen with the house, the inquest; everything. Please make it alright baby...
Well, that's enough of me babbling on.
I love you and I am desperate to see you again xxxx
Argghhh!
Argghh! I just feel so angry at what happened to you. There are so many questions I will never have the answer to...Why am I still here? Why did he not look before he pulled out? Why did my heart not stop when I found out I had lost you forever? How do people just go on as if nothing has happened? How do I go on without my soul mate?
I can't handle this anymore. I love you xxx
Life is so unfair
Hi Steph, Although we haven't met, i feel I know you just a little bit through the messages you have been leaving on Craig's site and by reading the tributes and messages on Stephen's. There are no words that can convey how deeply I feel for you and Stephen's family, but I hope that knowing other people are thinking of you, can help you through the darkest days. It's sad to think that the measure of pain we feel, is also a measure of our love and respect for our loved ones, if we didn't miss them we wouldn't feel anything. The pain may be damped down by the passing of time, but it will always be there, just below the surface. It does make it harder to care about the 'normal' stresses and strains of everyday life or the trivialness of other people. Sometimes I just want to stand up and scream at everybody and the only thing that stops me is the fact that it isn't their fault, but it doesn't make it any easier to bear. I'm sure that Craig and Stephen would have been great mates, had they ever met in this life, they sound so similar, both caring guys, who loved their families and partners very deeply. If you ever want to 'talk' my e-mail address is Margaretrussell1@aol.com. Keep strong Steph, you and Stephen are in my thoughts a lot. It seems strange, but now when I think of Craig, I also think of Stephen. Two great guys who are so missed by their families and friends. love to you both..xxx
still thinking it over it never stops...
You that have lost those that are so precious are all so strong and steve would be so proud of you at this moment in time. This does not always offer comfort but it is the truth you were touched by an angel and some of us never get that experience in this lifetime.
Thinking of you all who lost this fantastic man.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Can't take this...
There is no solution to how we are all feeling. The only thing that can make us happy is you walking in and telling us it was all a mistake; you are fine and just have a broken arm. Why weren't you given a second chance?
Maybe you are somewhere better than this and you are watching over us, but I need proof...
I miss you gorgeous. I think about how long I might be without you (if something doesn't happen to me) and it scares me so much. You were the only one that really knew me...
"Elephant Juice" xxxx
Steve, it was a pleasure to know you for the short time that i did, you were one of the good guys. hope you're watching over your brother, dad and Steph, I'm sure you are.
Andrew, Mick and Steph, Things like this shouldn't happen to good people like you. Steve was taken from you all far too soon. If any of you need anything you know where I am, anytime. You are all very special people and you all deserve to be happy. Stay strong for each other, you're doing Steve and yourselves proud. Thinking of you all, always.
