The community of Lawrence County is in mourning following the unexpected passing of former County Executive Marty Dunkin, who died on November 19 at the age of 66. Dunkin’s career began in the family-owned Dunkin’s Market, where he gained valuable experience before transitioning into public service. His tenure as County Executive was notable, as he made history by being the youngest individual to ever assume that role.
After his time in office, Dunkin continued his professional journey with Waste Connections, where he served as a division Vice President until he retired. The impact of his leadership and dedication to the community will be remembered fondly by many. A funeral service honoring Dunkin’s life and contributions took place on Friday, drawing friends, family, and colleagues together to pay their respects.
