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...
Still Missing You...
Just got back from visiting my cousins. You would have really loved the walks along the beach with the dogs. I even played football with mum and John and wished you were there to play it with me : (
I keep holding onto the hope that I will see you again. It's the only thing I have.
I love you so much. Please try and let me know that there is something else...

my heart breaks for you, my husband also a skilled rider, was killed in june this year whilst riding he's beloved bike. wish i could say words that would make it all ok for you. thinking of you and sending love.
What can we say about the fabulous Steven
Taken at such a young age but he will always remain in the memories of all who knew him as handsome, strong and passionate towards his bikes and those he loved! I knew him for a short time but realised instantly that he had such a positive and adverse affect on Steph that this man was the perfect sole mate for my best friend. I am saddened and always aware just what a loss she must feel. But i know that my beautiful friend will heal eventually. We will never forget such a fantastic couple and wish we had spent more time together with you both.Lots of love as always xxxxxxxxxxx
Agghhh!
I can't shake the feeling of anger when I think of what happened to you and the feeling of guilt I have that I am still here and you're not. You were so alive and I always thought you would be strong enough if anything happened to you. You didn't like things to be taken out of your own hands and the fact that you had no choice in the accident makes me mad! You had nowhere to go : (
I have made sure that everyone knows what a good rider you were baby. I refuse to let people think that it was your fault in any way. I know how skilled you were, you went on enough trackdays, knew the mechanics of how a bike worked, went all over Europe with me on our VFR and read loads on the subject. You were a idol of mine when it came to riding bikes. I always said to myself that if I did my test I would want to ride as well as you.
We should have followed our dreams and moved to the mountains in Italy sooner; a bike loving nation. Away from Peugeot 406's and nightmare drivers. Then maybe you would still be here...
Love you so much it's killing me xxxxxxxx

A poem from the heart...
“Life goes on?….that’s what they say
and “time will take the pain away?
Time doesn’t help it just makes me miss
when we were together and it felt like bliss
I will never forget what you mean to me
you will always stay fresh in my memory
I can’t believe I have lost my best friend
a tragedy that time will never mend
I’ll never forget your eyes that morning
when you said goodbye to me
Thinking we would see each other again soon
sadly, this was not meant to be
I always let you know how special you were to me
I only had to smile to make you see
You were my gorgeous man with piercing blue eyes
When I think of what I’ve lost it makes me cry
I know I have nothing left to tell you
I have no regrets that way
I just wish you were here to give me a hug
And make this nightmare go away
So even though life goes on my darling
I will miss your loving ways
How you made me so happy
I will remember that for the rest of my days.
See you again Steve xxxx

I wish I could turn the clocks back, make everything alright again, it is breaking my heart to see my darling daughter so sad.
I miss you so much Steve, you were always there to give me encouragement, so enthusiastic, such a zest for life!
I was so proud of you both, what a beautiful couple, I was so pleased when you found your first home, you did so many things together, always filling the short times that you had together when Steve was home from work. I never had to worry about you. I will miss your wedding, your children and those garden parties I had planned when we found our dream home....
One thing I feel sure about is that you will watch over Steph and between us we will make her happy again.....
I must take this opportunity to thank all who have left their tributes, it has been a great source of comfort to my daughter.
All my Love.......Forever Mumsue
