Stevenson, known for his passion for extreme stunts and 'rooftopping'—the practice of scaling buildings and structures without safety gear—had traveled to Spain for the weekend to perform the risky climb. Despite repeated warnings from his family to avoid such dangerous activities, Lewis followed his adventurous spirit. Speaking from Derby, his grandfather, Clifford Stevenson, 70, reflected on Lewis’s nature: “We always tried to talk him out of it, but that was just who he was. He loved these adventures. He wasn’t in it for the money—he just did it for the thrill."

Lewis’s girlfriend, Savannah Parker, 25, shared emotional memories, revealing that the last words he texted her were, “Good night, I love you.” Savannah explained that Lewis often undertook extreme challenges, pushing himself to his limits. "I knew this was something he loved doing, but it was always terrifying to watch him go. He just lived for those moments."

Savannah recounted a nerve-wracking experience during their trip to Malta last year, where Lewis convinced her to explore an abandoned building. “I remember being so scared, afraid that one wrong step would be the end, but for him, that was normal. He thrived on that edge.”

Tragic Climb Ends in Fatal Fall
Lewis and a 24-year-old friend had scaled approximately one-fourth of the bridge’s height—about 160 feet—before the tragedy occurred. Witnesses say Lewis lost consciousness just before slipping. "He wasn’t feeling well and told his friend to give him a minute. That’s when he blacked out and fell," Savannah revealed, citing the police report shared by his companion. Authorities are investigating if poor weather conditions contributed to the accident, as heavy rain had made surfaces dangerously slippery that morning.

The Castilla-La Mancha bridge, located in Talavera de la Reina, has strict prohibitions against climbing, according to local officials. A motorist passing by raised the alarm after spotting Lewis’s companion, who was found in deep shock but has not been charged with any crime. A council spokesperson confirmed that the victim’s body was discovered around 7:14 a.m. on Sunday.

Remembering a Life of Risk and Adventure
Lewis had built a reputation within the ‘rooftopping’ community, posting photos of himself atop skyscrapers in New York, London, Croatia, and Mexico on his Instagram page, where he went by the name expedition. A close friend, who shared Lewis’s passion for high-risk climbs, expressed his sorrow on Instagram: “Knowing you was one of the greatest privileges of my life. Losing you is the greatest sadness. You were fearless, and you lived your truth. Rest easy, my brother—we’ll meet again.”

Another friend added: “Lewis showed me a new meaning of freedom. His boldness changed my outlook on life and inspired my creative work.”

Lewis’s girlfriend described how she had come to accept his dangerous pursuits over the years. “We’ve known each other for a decade, and for five of those years, he’s been doing these stunts. I tried not to look into what he was doing because I worried enough. He always came back—until this weekend.” Savannah’s grief is compounded by the tragic manner of his death. “It’s one thing to lose someone, but it’s even harder when it happens this way. He was full of life, and now he’s gone.”
