Freshwater Puffers
I am assuming the answer is "no", but I am hoping that such a fish does exist. Are there any passive freshwater puffers?

No.
 The only freshwater puffer I know of is the Malabar or Dwarf puffer. They are not passive and best kept in a species tank.

All puffers are predatory, they can be kept with other fish.. they will just rip them to pieces... So its highly recommended that you don't
 .I would go with Dwarf puffers for a smaller tank, if you go 40-75+ gallons you will have a lot more options puffer wise.

Red-eyes, false red-eyes, south americans, dwarves, etc. but no puffer in existence is "passive."
Though, south americans will school with eachother.
