Born near Brandon on 27 April 1886, son of James and Margaret Honeyman, he was educated at the University of Manitoba, receiving a BA in 1909 and LLB in 1912. He practiced law in Winnipeg until shortly before his death. He was made a King’s Counsel in 1931. He served as a Winnipeg alderman from 1929 to 1938 and was a member of the Municipal and Public Utility Board and a trustee of the Sinking Fund. He was commemorated by Honeyman Avenue, being the first alderman so honoured while he was still living.

He died at Winnipeg on 12 July 1969.
