Brothers tend to be of similar sizes, as do fathers and sons. It's not always the case though and we do have some examples of noticeable size differences. I'm mostly looking for people within the same generation or at most one generation apart. That a grandson is much larger than his grandfather or the opposite happens (especially when players were smaller 50+ years ago).

Tom Pyatt: 5'11", 185 lbs
Taylor Pyat: 6'4", 230 lbs

Saku Koivu: 5'10", 181 lbs
Mikko Koivu: 6'2", 213 lbs

Jordan Subban: 5'9", 181 lbs
Malcom Subban: 6'2, 200 lbs

Greg Malone: 6', 189 lbs
Ryan Malone: 6'4" 224 lbs

Nick Robertson: 5’9 178 lbs
Jason Robertson: 6’3" 202 lbs

These are the ones I could come up with. I'm sure there are others but I think it'd be hard to top out the size disparity between Taylor and his little brother. 5 inches and 45 pounds is pretty insane for a pair of siblings.
Lots of fathers out there unknowingly raising sons that are another mans.

It's not a huge difference, but I might as well chime in. Oliver Ekman-Larsson is 6'2" whereas his brother, Kevin is 5'11".

On a personal note, I'm 5'11" and my sister is 5'3".

The tkachuks, and their dad.
How so dad and Matthew are listed at 6;2 and Brady is 6'4 unless this is a swipe at Keith's weight.

Mario Lemieux was listed as about 4 inches taller than his brother.

Maurice Richard was about 3 inches taller than Henri though both were not tall.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here but nick robertson was born very premature and it's somewhat of a miracle that he survived.
