Field Kindley Wasson Jr.

Field Kindley (Kin) Wasson Jr., 61, of Little Rock, died Sunday, September 8, 2019. Field was born January 23, 1958 in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, son of Mary Ann Clinton and Field Kindley Wasson. He attended Siloam Springs High School, Class of 1976, where he was captain of the basketball team and won a state tennis championship. He graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1980, where he was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, and University of Arkansas School of Law in 1985. Field was a charismatic and intelligent man. He never had a bad thing to say about anyone, except whatever team the Arkansas Razorbacks were playing. He served as Chief Legal Counsel to Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton until 1992, which he described as "the best job" he'd ever had, and held positions in banking and finance after that time. He married the love of his life, Nancy, on June 25, 1994 in a private ceremony in Anguilla. Most of all, he was proud of his children and their accomplishments, and was an invaluable source of advice and guidance. He was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his wife, Nancy Argo Wasson; daughter, Elizabeth Patricia Wasson of Charlotte, North Carolina; son, Field Kindley Wasson III of Fayetteville, Arkansas; step-daughter Jessica Stacy Totty of Wynne, Arkansas; sister Angela Wasson-Hunt (Stuart) of Kansas City, Missouri and brother Karl Clinton Wasson (Ann) of Duluth, Minnesota. He is also survived by step-grandchildren John Gracchus Shaver, Caroline Grace Shaver, and Audrey Argo Totty, as well as many nieces and nephews and numerous Argo family members. Visitation will be held Thursday, September 12 from 5-7 p.m. at the home of Tricia and Jim Fowler, 5314 Hawthorne Road, Little Rock, Arkansas.
