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...
When we lose a loved one
and sorrow fills our hearts
comfort comes in memories
that never will depart
For memories of moments
we share with someone dear
in time will fill our hearts with joy
and keep our loved one near

Believing that a rainbow always waits
beyond the showers
Remembering that
when winters gone
we see the springtime flowers
May the promise of tomorrow
bring you some peace
hi mate of to cyprus today might see some moths he he . i miss you mate wish this nightmare would end and every thing was back to normal i will look after this end if you promise to look after that end mate love you forever bro xxxxxxxxxxxx
All it takes is a passing shadow
as a cloud moves across the sun
to remind us yesterday has gone
and a new day has begun
For although the blossoms may tumble
and leaves scatter in the breeze
What will never ever fade
is the precious memories
Baby...
Miss you so much, can't believe it is nearly 10 months. You are still my every thought. You were my best mate Steve. I have good friends, but you knew me inside and out and always knew how to make me laugh. What are we all meant to do without you.
I'm worried about Andrew. He is trying his best to cope without you and your mum, but I can see the pain is tearing him up every second of the day. If you have any power where you are, take care of Andrew and your dad. Don't worry about me...
Sally had a little baby girl yesterday. She weighed 9lbs!! Lovely and healthy :-)
Ducati looks like they are set to win the GP. Knew Rossi should've gone to Ducati when he had the chance. I know he likes a challenge, but I hate to see him lose...

I can't believe that the man responsible for this is pleading not guilty. I hope he can't sleep at night thinking about what he's done but the fact that hes pleading not guilty makes me think that he has no morals at all. how would he feel if this had been a member of his family. Does he think that because it was a biker it must be his fault. People like that make me sick.
Find out his address send him a link to this site and craigs and all the other bikers who have been killed kneedlessley on our roads due to drivers who think they own the roads. Let him see for himself the devestation he and the other drivers have caused not only to the familys but all the friends of these bikers. Let him see that they were people and not just 'bikers'.
Sorry for my rant
best wishes to steph and all Stephens family and friends

Hold me close and go away
Please visit me and please don't stay.
Talk to me but please don't speak.
I need you now- come back next week.
Emotions muddled, needs unknown.
To be with others or on my own?
To scream out loud? To rant and shout?
Or hide away and push you out?
I smile at you- 'she's not that bad'
I shout at you-'she's going mad'
I speak to you- What do I say?
I show my tears- 'Quick, walk away'
It's not catching, the grief i feel.
I can't pretend that it isn't real.
I carry on as best i know.
But this pain inside just won't go.
So, true friends, please, accept the lot.
I shout, I cry, I lose the plot.
I don't know what I need today.
So hold me close and go away.
I can't change what you are going through,
I have no words to make a difference
no answers, or solutions to make things easier for you
But if it helps in any way I want to say I care
Please know that even when you're lonely
You're not alone
I'll be here, supporting you with my thoughts
Cheering for you with all my strength
Praying for you with all my heart.
For whatever you need, for as long as it takes
Lean on my love.
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
