Christopher Davey, from Moulton, was one of the seven Britons killed when a plane heading for the Everest region crashed in Nepal's capital.
The Sita Air plane came down minutes after taking-off from Kathmandu for Lukla, killing 19 people.
Peter Glennan, from the Rotary Club of Nene Valley said: "It has come as a great shock to all of his friends."
The other British victims, identified by travel company Sherpa Adventures, were Raymond Eagle, aged 58, Vincent Kelly, 50, Darren Kelly, 45, Timothy Oakes, 57, Stephen Holding, 60, and Benjamin Ogden, 27.
The Britons' next of kin have been contacted by the Foreign office.
Officials said the aircraft crashed into a river bank and caught fire.
Mr Davey, 51, was the club secretary for the Rotary Club.
Mr Glennan said: "There would be a lot of young people who would recognise him because he was the guy running around in the yellow tabard making sure that all the young people had a good time.
"One of Chris's pleasures was doing things like trekking. He had been telling us for many weeks about how he was planning to do this."
The group was due to complete its expedition in mid-October.
The cause of the crash has not yet been officially confirmed.
