Marty Dunn (known affectionately as Uncle Marty) was Henry Dunn's surrogate father growing up, and is the only family other than J.D. Dunn he has at the wedding. Marty is the second character to die. He dies of dismemberment after falling through a footbridge in "Whap".
On the Island
When he is first seen in "Whap", Marty appears boisterous and care-free. It is later shown that he pops pills and carries a bag filled with $250,000 in $100 bills, a camera, and a gun. Marty brought the money with the intention to invest in Malcolm Ross's brewery. He mentions to Henry how he feels as though the wedding is a fairy tale come true, and tells him not to allow Thomas Wellington to intimidate him.
Marty overhears Thomas talking to Hunter Jennings about attempting to break up Trish and Henry, and later confronts Thomas about it. Marty tells Thomas to accept the fact that they will be family, whether he likes it or not.
Death
Marty is seen at the end of "Whap" walking across a footbridge toward the beach, when several planks fall out from underneath him, trapping him in the bridge. As he attempts to free himself, Marty is assaulted from below the bridge. He uses his gun to shoot blindly through the planks, but misses the assailant and his entire lower half is soon detached.
In "Crackle", Henry receives a text message from Marty's phone, claiming that he has "found a wild one" and will see him at the wedding. In "Ka-Blam", Hunter leaves the Island, discovering Marty's bag in the boat he leaves in. The bag is then claimed by the groomsmen in "Bang". Following Joel Booth's attempt to hide the money and subsequent death, Malcolm hides the money under his bed at the Candlewick Inn. After Danny Brooks and Christopher Sullivan discover that Malcolm has the money, Malcolm feels guilty and burns Marty's money in the furnace, right before being killed by Henry.
Marty's severed body is discovered, hanging in a tree, by Abby Mills and J.D. in "Sploosh". Later, his phone is planted in J.D.'s room and is discovered by Henry and Sheriff Mills. The discovery of Marty's phone leads the Sheriff and many others, including Trish Wellington, to conclude that J.D. is responsible for the murders.
