Dr. Bernard Prudencio

Dr. Bernard Prudencio passed away on November 10, 2025, with his loving and faithful daughter Kaye Riggs by his bedside at the age of 82 years old in Jacksonville, Florida, at the Fountains at Mill Cove.
Dr. P, as he was known, raised his family and made his roots in Putnam County, where he helped care for the people of Welaka, Palatka, and surrounding communities at his Family Practices for 45 years. He spent his life caring and healing others while providing a loving and supportive home for his family.
Dr. P was the first in his family to migrate from the Philippines, and helped his family seek out their hopes and dreams in America.
Dr. P gave selflessly and worked tirelessly alongside his wife to ensure others were provided the care they needed.
Dr. Prudencio is survived by his son, Raymond; daughter, Kaye; daughter-in-law, Lindy; son-in-law, Terry; grandchildren, Ethan, Sophia and Noah; brothers, Sam, Billy Boy, Steve, Noel; and sister, Patty.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Becky Prudencio.
We take comfort knowing he is with the Lord, and reunited with the love of his life, our mom Becky.
Hardage-Giddens Chapel Hills Funeral Home and Cemetery in Jacksonville assisted the family.
