The reality star, who was aged 26, was discovered dead near his Edmonton home almost a week ago, with both his manager and the Metropolitan Police since confirming the news.
And Mike's devastated loved ones have held a vigil for the late Love Island contestant in the woodland where his body was found hanged.
In pictures and videos posted to social media by a pal called Michelle, it saw the late reality star's grieving friends cover a tree trunk in sentimental pictures, flowers and candles.
Other social media posts saw Mike's friends write heartfelt letters accompanied with throwback pictures of the two together over the years.
While several large bags full of silver balloons could be spotted on another picture of the vigil, which will no doubt be released into the air later on Friday.
Accompanying the posts, his friend Michelle captioned them with: 'Goodnight @MikeThalassitis Catch those lanterns in the Sky,' followed by a series of emotional emojis.
The friend also shared that Mike's loved ones had been gathering in the woodland throughout the week, leaving flowers and paying their respect.
Just days before his death, Mike's grandmother on his father's side was aged 94 when she tragically passed away, the reality star had moved in with her to become her full-time carer.
Mike enjoyed a successful playing career before appearing on season three of the revamped dating show Love Island in 2017.
