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...
Everything is different...
I am trying to carry on without you, but it is not as easy as people think it is. Firstly, I have lost my best mate, my partner, my soul mate, but also I look at life completely differently now. I always knew that something could happen to those I love, but never thought it would (as everyone does), but now I know it can happen and more often than not, will.
I have no time now for gossiping, bitchyness at work, stupid people, people that stress about nothing, what people think of me, caring about having a hangover at work (!), etc.
It is all so pointless, as has been proven in these last few months, life is too short.
I hope you are watching over me and your family and making sure we are alright. I still haven't paid the house off - waiting to hear from your work. We messed up there didn't we?
Love you and miss everything about you. You were one in a zillion!

Still gutted...
Baby,
I thought about you alot on Friday, it was three months ago that you were taken from me. In fact I think about you all time, Not a second goes by without your gorgeous face popping into my head. I am trying to go on and "live life to the full", but you were (are) such a big part of my life and I am so scared to live without you. There are so many people in relationships where they think they know what love is and take each other for granted. We never did and truly understood what we meant to each other. I was always so smug that I had found what I dreamed of finding and just wish I could have held onto it for the rest of my life. I need you back and hope you know that I will NEVER forget you, "my gorgeous man"...
I love you so much xxxx
Feeling the same terrible pain and heart ache.
Steph, i understand the pain and desperation you are going through, that void in your life is too much to bare. It is so unfair that we found our soul mates who we loved and still love so intensely, just to have them taken away in the blink of an eye.
I've looked at the photo's of you and stephen, you look perfect for each other. Such an attractive couple, who look so happy together. I can't understand this world, i ask questions everyday but get no answers. Stephen will be watching over you always and i'm sure he will have met up with my Rye by now.
They will be our guardian angels, until we all are reunited together.

I keep having dreams where I have met your "killer" and he shows no remorse whatsoever. I hope he has trouble sleeping. I would if I had killed an angel.
I am finding this too hard, I need more than your memories to give me strength to cope with this. I need you...
I will love you forever.

Steph,
Not a day goes by without us both thinking of Steve and the loss we have all suffered. It's such a shame he has been taken so young in life. We will never forget him and his legacy he has left behind. What you had was so special and only you have the memories to keep alive; remember forever the joy and happiness he brought to you and everyone else whos paths crossed Steves on the journey of life. We shall never forget him and neither have we forgotten about you. We will always be here to comfort you in times of need.
Andrew and Kathryn x
Love you...
Hi baby,
I went shopping in town today for the first time on my own. I hate shopping, it does my head in, but I thought I would treat myself, as life's too short. I saw some fab shoes, but they didn't have my size. I can just hear you saying "Yu don't need any more shoes" and then smiling because you knew I had a fetish for them! A bit like you with your bikes : )
I can't tell you how much I am missing you. I hope you know. What's the point of it all eh? I wish I was one of those oblivious people who live in a dream world that have never lost anybody they loved, but I'm not. I'm the one left behind and it's killing me knowing you are not here anymore to have a laugh with and snuggle up to. You were so kind and considerate AND romantic, even if you didn't think you were.
I am so glad I had 5 years with you. They were the best years of my life and I'd give anything to have that time again.
Love you 'big ears'
