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...

True
Just wanted to write something I have just read written by the Queen Mum to Sheila Hancock. When asked does the grief of losing her husband get any better, she replied 'It does not get better, you just get better at it'.

Dreams...
My god how I didn't want to wake up this morning. Had the most vivid dream of you last night. We were doing the things we used to do, i.e. going out on the bike etc. and you were hugging, kissing and talking to me! It was soo real and I really wanted to stay in that dream world where I was happy. I asked the same question again that I have asked before in dreams 'But you're dead, I saw you?' and you showed me a scar on the back of your head and said that you had left me for a short while, but was fine and you were here to stay :(

I can tell by that look friend, that you need to talk,
So come take my hand and let's go for a walk.
See, I'm not like the others-I won't shy away,
Because I want to hear what you've got to say.
Your loved one has died and you need to be heard,
But they don't want to hear a single word.
They tell you your loved one's 'with God', so be strong,
They say all the 'right' things that somehow seem wrong.
They're hurting for you and trying to say,
They'd give anything to help take you pain away.
But they're struggling with feelings they can't understand,
So forgive them for not offering a helping hand.
I'll walk in your shoes for more than a mile.
I'll wait while you cry and be glad if you smile.
I won't criticize you or judge you or scorn,
I'll just stay and listen 'til your night turns to morn.
Yes, the journey is hard and unbearably long,
And I know that you think you're not quite that strong.
So just take my hand, cause I've got time to spare,
And I know how it hurts, friend, for I have been there.
See, I owe a debt you can help me repay.
For not long ago, I was helped the same way.
As I stumbled and fell thru a world so unreal.
So believe when I say that I know how you feel.
I don't look for praise or financial gain,
And I'm sure not the kind who gets joy out of pain.
I'm just a strong shoulder who'll be here til the end-
I'll be forever your compassionate friend...
It's me!
Sorry darling, i've been really lax at coming on here lately. Still haven't managed to get to Cusworth recently and the weather's better, so no excuses, just haven't had the energy...
Off to France on Sunday, joining your dad, sue and robin for some of the trip we planned to do together this year. It will be strange going abroad without you, I usually rely on you to order drinks and things; attempting the accent with your Yorkshire twist! hehe. Also, being in a room on my own :(
It's a year next month that you were taken from us and I just can't believe it. I'm still having scary dreams about your accident, waking up in the middle of the night expecting you to be there and when you're not it's the worst feeling in the world...
I love you skinny.

Court...
Well it was the final hearing today after he changed his plea to guilty.
Mr John Harper (AKA Your killer) got disqualified for a year and £1000 odd fine. More than I expected, but yet not enough, although nothing would ever be enough!
He showed remorse. I blame the lorry driver equally if not more.
God, I miss you so much. I don't know what to do with myself.
xx
Missing you...
Missing you. Miss talking to my best mate. Miss motorbiking with you. Miss eating and drinking with you. Miss hugging you. Miss kissing you. Miss giggling with you...Miss everything goddamnit!!
