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...
please keep strong steph. i know its tough, unbearable even and sometimes it all seems so pointless now he's gone but do him proud and keep yourself going with the wonderful memories. thinking of you. i know how i feel and i hate the thought that you will be feeling the same. take care and keep in touch. xxx
Poem written by a friend of Simon Short - for comfort to all who read it...
You can shed tears that he has gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he comes back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
Or you can be full of the loved that you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow because of yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he has gone,
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
had a quick look at your photo gallery you chose the same hearse that we had for craig. I know craig wouldn't have wanted any other one and I'm sure stephen felt the same. Although it was quite hard to watch at the same time. Hope your all keeping your chins up jen xx

Hope this helps a little, love to you and your family.

R.I.P Stephen
There are no words to make things better. Some say time heals but I think you just get better at hiding your feelings, putting on your 'make-up' and getting through the day.
We miss Jay so much and it hurts like you can't explain. I can't imagine what it must be like to loose someone you were planning to spend the rest of your life with.
I'm sure Stephen will be close-by and watching over you Stephanie. My thoughts are with you xx
Stephen, say Hi to Jay, I know you'll get on great and you'll have loads to talk about with bikes and cars . Jay's race mates are there too. Chris (14) lost his life on his bike at the race circuit in 2005 and Ashley (18) on the same circuit in 2006. Have fun and race those clouds boys.
God bless. We'll see you soon xxx
Steve, part of a message from Andy Whitton (friend)...
He helped me at every corner, whether he knew it or not. Every memory I have that I cherish has Steve rooted at the core. I was worried that he would fade from memory somehow, ridiculous I know. Then I came to realise that I simply can't and won't forget because he is who I am, does that make sense? I am the person I am today because of the people I love and along with all the dearest people in my life he will remain, always has and always will.
i am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved steve. my heart goes out to you. i have lost many people close to me but nothing compares to losing your partner- the love of your life as we have. i know you will be feeling so lost without him and its hard to even want to carry on but you must do all the things steve would have wanted you to do and live your life in a way that would make him smile. please take care. sending warm best wishes to you. xx
Song - Rooster "Angels Calling"...
You and I we were one
And I swore I'd stay forever
But they say all good things come to an end - my friend
Now its time to move on
But don't think that this is easy
'Cos it's hard to be leaving you behind
But you will be fine
Oh so if you believe
Say a prayer for me
I wont be here tomorrow
Somewhere I gotta be
Things you want to say
Save them for another day
Cause I can hear the angels calling
Angels callin' for me
Does it help if I say
That I'm really truly sorry
And that I never meant for it to end - this way
There's a place in your heart
Where you know you'll always find me
And I'll be with you wherever you are
Near or far
But you and I, we were one
And I swore I'd stay forever
But they say all good things come to an end - my friend
