The Leicester doorman who was killed in a crash on the way home after a shift is to be cremated in his work uniform.
Sheryl Bott has said that her partner Dale Strachan, described as "one of a kind", was at his happiest when he was at work.
The service for Dale, from Thornton, is to take place at 11.30am on June 12 at Gilroes Crematorium.
The service will be followed by a wake from 1pm at Liquid and Envy in Church Gate, Leicester city centre - the club where Dale worked on the doors.
Sheryl, 35, who has a seven-year-old daughter called Leah with Dale, said: "He will be all in black.
"Black jacket, black shirt, black trousers, black shoes and looking incredibly handsome.
"He will also be wearing his doorman's armband as he was very proud of what he did.
"Dale was never happier than when he was with the team he worked with. He loved being at home with us but he loved his job too."
Dale, 44, of Thornton, known as Baldy and Oggy to his friends, was riding his scooter home from work when he crashed in Ratby Lane, Markfield, on May 24.
Sheryl said that everyone was welcome at the both the service and the wake.
She said: "I have been amazed by the sheer number of messages we have had from well-wishers and we are very grateful for them.
"It is obvious that Dale touched the lives of a great many people. As a family we would say that anyone who wants to come along and pay their respects can.
"I do not want people to think they have to be miserable and come along dressed in black.
"Dale will be in black but that is only because it is his work uniform. He was a colourful character and I want everyone to remember and reflect that."
Sheryl, who had been going out with Dale for eight years, said that she had originally intended to put his body in the pink dressing gown he used to pinch off her to nip out at home for a smoke.
She said: "We all thought it would be more appropriate for Dale to be in his work gear.
"He always asked me not to tell anyone about that but I reckon I have now. I don't mind as I know he will be looking down laughing about it."
Police said Dale's accident took place some time between 3am and 5am, at the junction with London Road, and only involved Dale's red and black Lifan 125cc scooter.
Dale suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
