George Michael's boyfriend -- who found the singer's dead Christmas Day -- was spotted for the first time Thursday outside the home George passed away in.

A somber looking Fadi Fawaz stepped out of the Oxfordshire home with a friend ... the sidewalk outside residence has served as an ever-growing memorial to the late singer since his death.

Fawaz took to Twitter the day after George died with a message that concluded with, "I will never stop missing you xx."

Michael's cause of death is still unknown.
