The Portuguese star was pulled out of the wreckage unconscious following the early-hours crash on the A22 in Boliqueime, Loulé.
He was then rushed to Faro hospital and was put in intensive care in a coma.
But after more than two months of fighting for his life, Tiago died on Thursday morning.
His devastated mum described her son, who had more than 160,000 followers on Instagram, as a “great warrior” in an emotional tribute.
She said: “One of the things I always asked God for was that I would never have to go through pain like this.
“I want to inform you that my love, my Tiago, left this morning. He fought for 80 days.
“A great warrior, but God wanted it that way. I can only accept it with enormous pain, which destroys my heart.
“To you my beautiful love, mother just wants you to leave in peace.
