Arron Lewis: Tributes to driving instructor who died in road traffic accident in Altrincham
A family has paid a heartfelt tribute to a man who has died at the age of 33.
Arron Lewis died in a tragic accident last week. His parents said: “We are heartbroken at the tragic loss of our son, Arron, who passed away at the age of 33. Arron was a caring, decent, and kind young man who brought light and laughter wherever he went. He had an infectious personality and made friends easily — whether through his work or his interests.
“He leaves behind his incredibly proud parents and older brother, his loving girlfriend, and her two young children who absolutely adored him. He was also a proud uncle to two teenage nephews, who looked up to him.
“Arron worked as a driving instructor in the Sale area of Manchester, where he helped many people gain their licence.
“Outside of work, Arron found freedom on two wheels. Riding his motorbike was his escape from what he affectionately called his ‘office’ - his car. It gave him space to breathe, think, and enjoy life beyond work. He was a proud member of a charity-driven motorcycle club called The Weekend Riders and was always looking for ways to support good causes. Arron also previously trained and competed in Ultra White-Collar Boxing (UWCB), raising money for charity while challenging himself both physically and mentally. He had recently committed to getting in shape and was just beginning to build the next chapter of his life.
“Our family is devastated by his loss. We ask for privacy while we grieve, and speculation to be avoided around the circumstances of his passing. We are incredibly proud of the man Arron was and the life he lived. He will be missed more than words can say.”
Arron died in a road traffic collision in Manchester Road, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, on Wednesday, September 10 at about 2.25pm. A car and Arron’s motorbike collided and he died at the scene.
