Hundreds of people gathered to mourn the loss of "unruly tourist" James Nolan, who died in the UK earlier this month.
Nolan's family members held a memorial in south west London earlier this week, to remember the 29-year-old, the Daily Mail reported.
Earlier, one of Nolan's relative's posted a tribute to him on Facebook where she said his death didn't "feel real". She described him as the "best daddy to his big lovely children"'.
"My big lovely brother Jimmy Nolan as much as we always had argument been there all my life loved him like a big brother best daddy to his big lovely children and best husband to my sister (sic)," relative Lucy Nolan said on Facebook, adding his death didn't "feel real".
In the summer of 2019, Nolan and his family copped the names "unruly tourists" after they caused a ruckus whilst travelling the North Island.
The group was first spotted abusing people and littering at Auckland's Takapuna beach before they went on to cause havoc across the North Island.
They destroyed hotels, put ants in their meals to avoid paying for them and stole Red Bulls from petrol stations.
A petition was made to get them deported which 10,000 people signed and the group was given a deportation notice outside a Burger King in Hamilton.
Nolan was charged with multiple crimes including reckless driving and assault using a car.
He failed to appear in court on multiple occasions and even managed to escape New Zealand after using a passport that wasn't his at Auckland airport.
At the time Customs said Nolan, "deliberately circumvented border controls by using a valid passport that was not his own".
"He used an eGate which uses biometric data to match and confirm the identity of a passenger.
"The eGate identified further checks were needed on the passport. The image was automatically sent to a Customs officer, who incorrectly identified Nolan as the passport owner."
In 2021, the "unruly tourists" saga was made into an opera.
