About This Site

Friends of ISBeings

In November 2001, this site was conceived and created by David Wilkerson, ISB Class of 1971, following the sudden passing of his classmate, Michael Daly.

Michael’s passing inspired David to create a lasting place of remembrance for the International School Bangkok community. His vision was to establish a memorial honoring the faculty, staff, and students of the International School Bangkok, Thailand, who have departed this earth.

Since its creation, the purpose of this site has remained simple and heartfelt: to remember those who were part of the ISB family, to honor their lives and their connection to our community, and to ensure that their memories are preserved for generations to come.

Though they may no longer walk amongst us, they remain forever a part of the history, spirit, and family of ISB.

David has maintained a deep and enduring connection to the International School of Bangkok and its alumni community for much of his life.

Beginning in 1991, David served the ISB Network in numerous leadership roles, including Class Representative, President, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Vice President, and Director of Reunions. His involvement spanned more than three decades, concluding in 2022, with a seven-year hiatus between 2005 and 2012.

Throughout those years, David remained dedicated to preserving the friendships, memories, and shared experiences that have connected generations of ISB students, faculty, and staff.

David has returned to Thailand many times over the years, but two visits hold particular significance. In 2002, he brought his son, David, to Thailand for the ISB 50th Celebration and in 2012, he returned with his daughter, Caitlin. On both occasions, they visited the original Soi 15 campus as well as the newer Samakkhi campus.

These visits were about far more than sightseeing. They were opportunities to share a meaningful part of his childhood and introduce his children to the country, school, and community that had played such an important role in shaping his life.

As David explains:

“I wanted my children to understand my connection to Thailand and, of course, ISB. I wanted them to see the places I remembered, walk the grounds where I had spent so much of my youth, and experience a little of what made those years so special to me.”

For David, Thailand has never been simply a place he once lived. It remains a part of who he is, and ISB continues to represent friendships, memories, and a sense of belonging that have endured for a lifetime.

That same connection and commitment to preserving the past ultimately became the foundation of ISBeings.org, a lasting tribute to the members of the ISB family who are gone but never forgotten.

This site was conceived by David Wilkerson (ISB Class of 1971), who has cared for it over the past two decades, and who has collected and posted the memorials found here.  Contact David by emailing to: isbeings at gmail dot com
