Death and legacy[edit]

Ćenanović died unexpectedly on 1 April 2011 at the age of 49 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2] Following his death, the Eight Elementary School Ilidža, where Ćenanović was at one point its principal, changed its name to the Amer Ćenanović Elementary School on 22 December 2011 to honour him.[3] Two years later, on 3 April 2013, the first ever Amer Ćenanović Annual Race was held in Ilidža.[4]
