A 24-year-old British man had also accompanied him and was left in a “state of shock” after witnessing Lewisplummet to his death.
The victim’s family revealed that he ignored their warnings to climb theSpanish landmark.
“We all tried to talk him out of it. We were always trying to talk him out of doing things but that was the way he was,” his grandfather Clifford Stevenson, 70, told theDaily Mail.
“He loved doing it, always went out there believing he’d be alright. He did what he did for his own pleasure. He did not get any money for it,he was an adventurer,” the bereaved grandparent continued.

Savannah Parker, 25, who had been dating thedeath-defying stuntmanfor much of a decade, said she spoke to him hours before what became his final adventure.
The heartbroken girlfriend said he wasn’t feeling well and believes he may have lost consciousness prior to his fall.
“His friend who he was with sent me over his police statement. He told his friend he wasn’t feeling well and he said, ‘Shall we go back down?’” she said.
“Lewis said, ‘Give me a minute,’ and that’s when he lost consciousness and slipped,” she continued.
“We all tried to talk him out of it. We were always trying to talk him out of doing things but that was the way he was,” his grandfather Clifford Stevenson said
Savannah revealed that Lewis has often set out on daredevil adventures over the last few years.
“As much as it worries me, I don’t look into things because I worry enough as it is, and I just let him do his thing and generally he just comes back. This weekend he didn’t,” she said.
“It is one thing to hear that he’s gone but it’s how tragic it happened,” she went on to say.
A spokesperson for the local police revealed that Lewis was somewhere about 130 to 165 feet (40 to 50 meters) high.
“He was about 40 to 50 meters up, around a quarter of the total height of the bridge, when he fell,” the spokesperson told Spanish media outletThe Leader.
The Leaderalso quoted her saying the practice of climbing the bridge “is totally illegal.”
