Ian had worked at Lincolnshire County Council since 1993.
He was the business and public protection manager at the council at the time of his death.
She said: “Ian was an absolute pleasure to work with and was a dedicated and long-serving member of our Trading Standards team at the council.
“He was energetic, hard-working and the ultimate professional.
“But more than that, he was a kind and caring man, an asset to the team and a joy to be around.
“He had worked in Trading Standards for over 30 years and was absolutely committed to protecting the public.”
A 38-year-old man arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been released on police bail until June 30.
Officers are continuing to investigate the crash and are appealing for anyone who witnessed it or who has dashcam footage to contact them on 101, quoting incident 137 of March 9.

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
