When Melvin “Mel” Gray walked into the home of his brother, Tom Davis, he felt an instant connection. The men, both military veterans, have spent their lives in Kansas City, growing up and buying homes mere city blocks from one another. They hung out at the same fast-food restaurants, rode motorcycles in the same charity events, dressed and acted similarly, but never met — never even knew one another existed. “If you took a rock and had a pretty good arm on you and you threw it from my front porch due east, it would land on his front porch,” Gray, 61, a facilities maintenance technician, said with a laugh. An at-home DNA test Gray took in 2018 helped the brothers discover their kinship. They met at Davis’ home for the first time over a televised Kansas City Chiefs game — forging a connection they said they’re excited to continue nurturing in 2023.
