Their father, 33-year-old Chad Doerman, was arrested and charged with their murders, according to Clermont County court records.

The community rallied together in the aftermath of the three boys’ deaths.

Among the community efforts to honor the Doerman brothers, was a plan to dedicate a place that was special to the boys - Field No. 4 at the New Richmond Youth Sports Association Ballfields.

Thus, the field was dedicated in their honor Saturday morning with a special ceremony. As part of the dedication, jersey banners of Clayton, Hunter and Chase were placed on the field’s fence.
