A post mortem examination said Satnam Singh died from head and chest injuries "consistent with being hit by a vehicle", Derbyshire police said.
Singh was found seriously injured last Friday near the Sri Guru Singh Sabha temple in Derby while he was on his way to the gurdwara.
Described by his friend's as "one of life's good guys", Singh was a volunteer at the temple and was holding a donation in his hand when he was reportedly hit by a car.
"It was not just people in Derby who respected him- he was held in high regard in the Sikh community across Europe", he said.
"My uncle was a very good man. He was a caring, considerate and happy family man," his nephew, Bill Johal, said.
