A body found on the shoreline at Shore Road West, Invergordon, on Tuesday, June 14 was later confirmed to be that of Shaun.
His family has now announced plans for a celebration of his life at Strathpeffer Pavilion on Monday, July 11.
A funeral notice states: "It it is with much sadness that we can now announce the unexpected passing of Shaun.
"Beloved partner of Bexy, devoted daddy to Tia, cherished son of Hannella and Glenn, much loved brother of Alan, step dad to Jack, cousin and good friend to many."
All friends are respectfully invited to the celebration of his life at the iconic Ross-shire venue at 11am next Monday followed thereafter to Fodderty Cemetery.
That will be preceded at 9.10am on Monday of a "final cruise" from Invergordon Social Club heading down into Invergordon along the Shore Road and down Alness High Street.
His brother Alan posted: "Cars were Shaun’s Passion and we would like to encourage anyone who is a car enthusiast even if you didn’t necessarily know Shaun personally to join in on Shaun’s final cruise."
Those who wish are then invited to continue on towards Strathpeffer Pavilion for 11am for the celebration of his life.
Family flowers only are requested but donations, if desired, can be made at the service to Macmillan Cancer Care (Highland) and the Crocus Group.
